NLMK USA notified customers today, Jan. 29, that it was increasing base prices on all products by $30 per ton, effective immediately, due to continued strong order placement. NLMK produces hot rolled, hot rolled pickled and oiled, cold rolled and galvanized products.
This is the fourth price increase announced by NLMK in the last three months, following $30 increases in November and December and a $40 price hike earlier in January.
NLMK’s move mirrors today’s announcement by AK Steel of a $30 per ton hike on its flat roll products.
