Supply
Merchant Bar supply is in the balance at present and if all the mill shutdowns and refits are successful then supplies could be uninterrupted. Heavy Sections continue to be in tight supply over the nect few months and hollow sections have a 10/12 week lead time from UK mills due to summer shutdowns.
Demand
July was a slow month overall for demand. We expect customer demand to remain at current levels over August and the summer period.
Tomrods Limited
The July floods have been replaced by August sunshine and we hope that demand picks up as well. As July is a holiday month we don not have too much to report, but we look forward to a busy August quoting all your enquiries.
