HARDI Wholesalers Report Weakening Galvanized Prices
Written by John Packard
Steel Market Update publisher, John Packard, participated in the monthly galvanized steel conference call held by HARDI for their wholesalers and other HARDI member companies. The wholesalers supply galvanized steel sheet and coil to the mechanical contractors who are involved in the residential and commercial HVAC markets.
The group discussed a number of key market issues which could impact their industry. These included the filing of the three trade cases, contract negotiations between US Steel and ArcelorMittal, the announced closure of the steelmaking at USS Fairfield and the over-inventory situation at the flat rolled steel service centers in the United States.
