We are experiencing extreme stress in the steel market. Availability of carbon, stainless and aluminum is diminishing and demand continues to be strong. Due to scrap prices, high demand, availability and mill lead times prices continue to rise. We are working diligently to avoid inventory shortages to fulfill your requirements. We expect this problem to continue into the third quarter. We appreciate your business and will continue to carefully monitor the situation. Please contact us with any questions.

Thank you.

Richard W. Evans
