Tata Steel Nederland kicks off 2025 with customers at Tata Steel Chess Tournament
Tata Steel Nederland has kicked of the year 2025 with its traditional customer visit to the 87th Tata Steel Chess Tournament in Wijk aan Zee. More than 50 customers visited our site and later witnessed the world’s greatest chess players in action. A presentation of the most important market developments completed the visit and left our customers fully inspired to win in their markets in the new year.
“We have a longstanding relationship of more than 65 years with Tata Steel and its predecessors Hoogovens and Corus,” says Michael Mockenhaupt, managing director at EMW Stahl Service. “Our relationship is built on trust and mutual keenness for quality, reliability and innovation. Getting together to visit the Tata Steel Chess Tournament is the perfect opportunity to celebrate this valued partnership and start the new year on a strong note together.
“The visit is an excellent way to further strengthen the relationship with our clients,” says Mirenka Fortuin, sales director for Tata Steel Nederland’s engineering segment. “We’re proud to work with EMW Stahl Service and all our other customers. The fact that so many of them are here today underscores the mutual appreciation of the partnerships. We’re looking forward to work together again this year, while we continue the path of our decarbonization journey.
