UPI Joins Other Mills, Adjusts Galvanized Coating Extras Lower
Written by Brett Linton
July 26, 2022
UPI made downward revisions to most of its galvanized coating extras on Monday, with new extras going into effect immediately.
Over the last few weeks, Steel Dynamics, NLMK USA, Wheeling-Nippon, and US Steel also revised their coating extras. SMU provides an updated comparison of mill galvanized coating extras in the Resources section of our website, comparing G30, G60 and G90 coating weights between ten US mills. Detailed extras by individual mill are also available via the right-side navigation menu on that page.
SMU has analyzed the old and new galvanized extras below. Select UPI extras decreased as much as 23%, with an average decrease of 17%. UPI extras were previously revised on April 18, 2022.
