Written by John Packard
December 28, 2013
On Monday, December 23, 2013 Nucor Sheet Mill Group advised their flat rolled customers that “due to higher raw material prices, the Nucor Sheet Mill Group will increase base pricing to the following levels, effective immediately:”
Hot Rolled = $35.00/cwt ($700 net ton)
Cold Rolled = $40.50/cwt ($810 per ton)
Galvanized = $40.50/cwt ($810 per ton)
The letter was signed by the various sales and marketing managers associated with the Nucor Sheet Mill Group.
The prices referenced are the same as those published by NLMK USA earlier in the day and are in line with the AK Steel and Severstal NA announcements made in early November.
