The 6th edition of the young performers' support project U. S. Steel Talent Night 2006 has produced new winners.

The Audience's Awards were won by Good Fancy and Richard Szilagyi and Silvia Kozakova, too. Awards of financial assistance from the event's organizer, U. S.

Record slabs shipment

In the month of August the steelmakers of the Slab Production operation in the Slabs Finishing and Shipping section succeeded in breaking the record set in March of this year, exceeding that month's export slabs shipment volume by 42 000 tons. As Ocel Vychodu was told by Slabs Finishing and Shipping Manager Stefan Gabani, shares of the credit for the new record must also go to the employees of the Transport Division, and to the staff of GM Production Logistics and Commercial Planning and GM Sales Plan and Customer Service/ Non-prime Sales.
