RCT Stevedoring Joins EUROMETAL as Associate Member

We are proud to announce that RCT Stevedoring has joined EUROMETAL, the European federation of steel, tube, and metal distributors. This partnership reflects our ambition to actively contribute to the future of European steel distribution and to further strengthen our network within this strategic industry.

EUROMETAL: A Network with Deep Roots and a Clear Mission

EUROMETAL’s origins date back to 1950, the same year the European Community for Coal and Steel (ECSC) was established. That year also saw the founding of FIANATM (Fédération Internationale des Associations de Négociants en Aciers, Tubes et Métaux), which aimed to unite national associations of steel, tube, and non-ferrous metals merchants from OECD countries.

FIANATM was founded in Basel, Switzerland, under Swiss law, and quickly grew into a prominent umbrella organization. In 1999, it merged with Brussels-based FENA (Fédération Européenne des Négociants d’Aciers), leading to the creation of EUROMETAL as we know it today.

From 2005 onwards, EUROMETAL opened its doors to individual companies. First came service centers, followed by steel stockholders and, later, companies involved in international steel trading. Today, EUROMETAL represents a broad spectrum of players in the European steel, tube, and metal distribution chain.

A Shared Vision for the Future of Steel Distribution

As an Associate Member, RCT Stevedoring aims to contribute our expertise in port logistics and steel handling within the EUROMETAL network. We firmly believe that collaboration and knowledge-sharing are key drivers of sustainable growth and innovation in our sector.Through participation in working groups, events, and knowledge exchanges, we look forward to helping build a strong, future-proof European ecosystem for steel and metal distribution.

Working Together for a Stronger Sector

Joining EUROMETAL marks an important step in RCT Stevedoring’s growth strategy. We look forward to connecting with fellow members, exchanging insights, and working together on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
