Manufacturers Discuss Exclusion Process at HARDI
Written by John Packard
On Sunday, the HARDI galvanized steel council met to discuss what has been happening in the industry that is impacting their relationship with their steel suppliers. John Packard, President & CEO of Steel Market Update, along with Josh Spoores, Senior Analyst for CRU, discussed the status of steel prices and the forecast for 2019.
The council also hosted a panel with three manufacturers who make HVAC products being sold to the wholesalers. The three companies: GSI/Ductmate, Lukjan and Southwark discussed a variety of subjects, but the most interesting to Steel Market Update were the comments made by the president of Southwark regarding the impact the 25 percent Section 232 tariffs have had on their business.
