?It is a real delight to have friends come from so far away! The Nickel Institute Beijing office has been an outstanding contributor to the development of China?s stainless steel industry. The Nickel Institute is a non-profit professional organization for nickel. 15 years ago it opened and took root in China. It has been dedicated to both raising the public awareness of nickel and stainless steel, and promoting its application in sectors such as iron and steel, chemistry and fertilizer, food processing, power grid, marine bio-chemistry, railway and rolling stocks, pharmaceutics, etc.. The Nickel Institute?s contribution to China has been impressive.?

These were the remarks given during the award presentation about the Nickel Institute Beijing Office at the 60th Anniversary Ceremony of China Stainless Steel Industrialization, held July 25-26 in Taiyuan, Shanxi province.
