Happy Monday everyone! It’s been a while folks, but we wanted to get some current information out to everyone before year end. Availability on most products in our region has been limited for some 8 weeks now and pushed pricing back up across the board.

Distributors like us are aggressively working through our current inventories so that we can take advantage of some lower pricing available from the mills, but most of us still have higher inventory levels and costs than we would prefer. We sincerely appreciate the help of our customers […]
