Key topics and experts at the Congress

This year’s edition of the Polish Chamber of Steelwork Congress will focus on the role of steel in building a modern and competitive economy. The programme will feature discussions on developments in infrastructure, construction, energy, and the defence sector, as well as challenges relating to trade, regulation, and investment financing. Representatives from industry, government, academia, and the business world will share their experiences and insights into the future of the steel industry, new opportunities for growth, and the importance of cooperation in strengthening the competitiveness of the Polish economy.

The congress programme has been divided into two main thematic blocks, covering key challenges and prospects for the development of the construction and steel industries. Participants will learn about the latest market trends, innovative technological solutions, and the practical experiences of industry leaders.

In the first thematic block, Adam Świniarski, ArcelorMittal Steligence®, will speak, presenting a steel producer’s perspective on the transformation of the construction sector and the role of modern material solutions in achieving sustainable development goals.

The second part of the event will focus on the future of the industry, cooperation between market participants, and the opportunities arising from technological and environmental changes. Tomasz Plaskura, CMO East Europe, ArcelorMittal Europe Flat Products, will take part in the expert panel, sharing his experiences and insights into market trends from the perspective of an international leader in the steel industry.

About the Polish Chamber of Steelwork

The Polish Chamber of Steelwork is a business self-regulatory organisation, established at the Founding General Meeting held on 17 June 1996, which has, at various times during its existence, brought together between 125 and 150 companies. The Chamber’s statutory objective is to undertake multifaceted activities supporting the development of the steel construction sector, and in particular to promote, represent, and protect the interests of, and foster a positive image for, the Chamber’s member companies. These objectives are achieved through:

• participation in shaping economic policy and in the creation and modernisation of standards, procedures, and legal regulations
• the promotion of steel structures
• the organisation of conferences, trade fairs, exhibitions, and training workshops, as well as international cooperation
• and the promotion of quality standards, reliability, and professional and commercial ethics.

23rd Congress of the Polish Chamber of Steelwork

On 18 June 2026, industry leaders joined together for an engaging session exploring how steel is driving faster, more efficient, and circular building solutions. From real project insights to expert perspectives, watch the webinar recording to discover why light steel framing and modular construction are reshaping the way we build.

The future of construction is modular, sustainable…and built with steel

The webinar focussed on how light steel framing (LSF) systems and modular construction are transforming traditional building practices by improving speed, reducing weight, and enhancing sustainability. 

Topics included:

• offsite construction trends, innovative and sustainable steel, durability, and coatings
• steel as an enabler for faster and more sustainable building
• practical experience and examples of offsite constructions
• modular vs. traditional construction: the role and perspective of the architect
• discussion and Q&A

Expert speakers from across the sector

The webinar featured presentations from several prominent figures in the industry, including:

• Marina D’Antimo, ArcelorMittal Flat Europe: ‘Steel for offsite construction: enabling the next era of efficient, durable and sustainable construction’
• Manuel Marrama Esteve, STALART: ‘Steel frame construction + strategic planning: the key to viable projects’
• Jordi Royo Florenza, Bilba: ‘Experience in steel frame construction in southern Spain: present and future’
• Julio Sanjuan, JSJ Arquitectos: ‘Modular vs traditional construction: the point of view and role of the architect’

At the Paperjam 10x6 event in March 2026, Olivier Vassart, CEO of ArcelorMittal Steligence®, explained how steel can drive low carbon construction through its full recyclability, high strength, and low carbon footprint when produced with decarbonised energy.

"Steel is a key player in low-carbon construction…”

In this interview, Olivier Vassart stressed the importance of assessing buildings holistically, considering total material use, lifecycle CO₂ emissions, and “cost in use”. He also highlighted how digitalisation and artificial intelligence are transforming steel innovation by enabling predictive material design, faster development, and more efficient, sustainable construction solutions.
