ThyssenKrupp Prompts Comments During SMU Market Analysis
Written by John Packard
Steel Market Update (SMU) conducted the first of our two monthly surveys for the month of December. We invited approximately 600 companies to participate in this week’s market analysis. Of the companies responding 47 percent were manufacturers, 42 per cent were service centers/wholesalers and the balance consisted of steel mills, trading companies, toll processors and suppliers to the industry (such as paint or chemical companies).
With the sale of ThyssenKrupp Steel USA being announced late last week and over the weekend, we wanted to gather the opinions of those taking our survey as to the potential impact of the sale.
