With the recent price increases, we believe now is the time to buy! Let's make a deal! Call and lock in your prices before they go up even more.

Most of the major steel mills have announced price increases in recent weeks with most moving higher in the $40 to $50 per ton range. Scrap prices are also heading higher. In addition, we are seeing longer lead times with orders placed with the mills.
