Service Center Intake, Shipments and Inventory through September 2016
Written by Peter Wright
September was another month in which shipments by service centers failed to live up to long term expectations. Carbon steel shipments decreased by 317,800 tons, mostly as a result of the number of shipping days declining from 23 in August to 21 in September. However tons per day shipments also declined being down from 139.7 in August to 137.9 in September. Pipe & tube and bar products were up, plate, structurals and sheet products in total were down.
