Kloeckner Metals Corporation, the Americas segment of Klockner & Co.

Sales were €634 million ($7.9 million), compared to €608 million ($7.5 million) in Q2 and up 6.8 percent year over year.
EBITDA, before restructuring costs, was €29 million ($36 million).
For the fourth quarter, declining prices are expected to have a negative impact on earnings in the Americas segment

Kloeckner also has three divisions: Temtco Steel Division, Kloeckner Metals Processing Division and California Steel & Tube Division.
