State of the Metal Industry
We are completely aware that many metal manufacturing mills and processing facilities have been expressing a strain on their aluminum, steel, and raw material supplies due to the ongoing metal shortage.
There are many underlying factors that have affected their ability to obtain materials and keep up with the growing demand for metal production. Factors like worldwide COVID-19 related business shutdowns, slower imports, and reduced number of worksite capacity all have created the ongoing shortage and economic downturn we are facing today.
This industrial strain is also being felt around the world as many are looking to import supplies in order to meet the demand by other industries that are experiencing similar shortages such as technology, aerospace, automotive, energy, and so on.
Though import activity is increasing, many North American metal manufacturing mills are facing long delivery times for offshore purchases resulting in many companies unable to receive finished products until the 3rd or 4th quarter of the fiscal year.
Despite their inabilities to obtain aluminum or other metals until the following quarter, the prices on domestic steel items have risen more than 160% since last August. There are a high number of companies that are researching and speaking with mills and production facilities to no avail.
