Shrinking Margin
The drastic slump experienced in 2008 in the steel industry was not followed by a growth of similar intensity. The industry is characterized by slow and uncertain, but expanding tendencies: short-term upswings are followed by similar regressions. The production level of ISD Dunaferr Zrt. approached the pre-crisis level, but did not reach it yet, because ISD Dunaferr Zrt. was in a very difficult situation in 2009-2010. Affected by the global crisis the European steel industrial prices dropped and the branch could not recover yet from this drastically worsening position. In the last couple of years ISD Dunaferr Zrt. showed loss, however the light at the end of the tunnel is winkling. |

Ltd., Dunaferr Vasas Trade Union Association and Dunaferr Youth Organisation In order to reduce the effects of the global financial and steel industrial crisis and to maintain the operation at the company group, ISD Dunaferr Co. Ltd. prepared an action plan that will be executed step by step. Beyond reduction of production and operation related costs and reschedule of investments by making priorities, it was necessary to limit social benefits for half a year and postpone or reschedule the payment of other benefits, which are more favourable than the obligatory payments regulated by the Labour Code. As a result of difficult negotiation rounds a necessary compromise agreement was reached between the interest representation organisations and the employer. |
Action plan at ISD DUNAFERR Zrt. Global financial market crisis caused economic slump world-wide affecting all sectors of the economy. Economic development slowed down, private consumption dropped and government investments were also cut back. All these affected the companies of production sector including steel industry as well. Slump in demand of processing industry entailed the decline in steel prices. As the result of financial and steel market crises, companies reacted by cutting down on production. These effects also influence the position of ISD DUNAFERR Zrt.
