    TNT Pipe and Tube is now Heidtman Tubular Products

    Written by David Schollaert

    Heidtman Steel Products, Inc., a leading coil service center, has renamed its tube mill, formerly TNT Pipe and Tube, to Heidtman Tubular Products. The change comes as Heidtman Steel seeks to showcase its vertical integration and full ownership and commitment to the tubular business, the company said.

    “As one of the largest, privately held, flat rolled steel service center networks in North America, we’re known for our quality products and customer service,” said Tim Berra, Heidtman Steel’s president and CEO. “This name change is intended to ensure that our customers know that Heidtman Steel’s focus on quality and service extends to our pipe and tube offerings as well.”

    Leibowitz: US steel prices skyrocket above world prices. Which are right?

    Steel markets in the United States now feature supply shortages. Spot tons are well-nigh unavailable, and even contract tons are scarce. Based on the available statistics, the US market for flat-rolled products is seriously constrained. The US economy is still the strongest in the world, and manufacturing output remains vigorous. But the available supply is tight. The reason is fairly obvious. US domestic supply has increased a bit. Meanwhile, imports have fallen significantly.
