Due to rapid changes in input costs like raw materials and energy and freight and fuel, domestic steel pipe mills have announced a price increase of $200/TON, approximately 10%. We will hold current levels through the close-of-business today, 3/25, and move to a new domestic welded steel pipe list price sheet on Monday, 3/28. Please call your Merfish United representative today for more information or to place orders now.
Import Seamless Steel Pipe Increase
As the conflict in Ukraine and Russia continues, supply chain disruptions from these areas continue to impact the global supply of raw materials, like pig iron which is a key raw material input in the manufacturing of hot roll coil (HRC) which is used as the basis for import seamless steel pipe. As a result, HRC continues to sustain price increases as demand soars and supply tightens. Along with rising fuel prices for both trans ocean shipping and domestic freight, these escalating costs have resulted in a 15% increase on import seamless steel pipe, effective immediately. Domestic Seamless pipe lead times continue to extend as well, with material only becoming available in late Q3 or early Q4. Please call your Merfish United representative for more information or to place orders now.
CPVC SCH80 and FloGuard Gold Increase
CPVC mills have announced a price increase of 8% which will be going into effect on Monday, 4/4. We will be holding current CPVC pipe price levels through Friday, 4/1.
Threaded Rod Increase
