    Atlas Tube hikes prices by $60/ton

    Written by Laura Miller

    Atlas Tube announced price increases for mechanical, HSS, and piling products.

    The Chicago-based tube producer said in a letter to customers on Monday that the increases are effective immediately for all new orders.

    It said all mechanical and HSS shapes through 14” square and equivalent rectangles will increase by $60 per short ton.

    All mechanical and HSS rounds, and piling through 28” OD, will also see $60/st increases.

    “All orders currently on our books will be price protected for shipment through July 3, 2026,” the company stated, noting the increase applies to all unconfirmed quotes and contracts.

    The move comes as substrate prices continue to rise. See today’s pricing story for the latest sheet prices.

    Atlas Tube is a part of Zekelman Industries. Last week, Atlas announced it would form a joint venture with Maruichi USA, combining the companies’ operations under Atlas Tube’s management.

    USW, USS, and Cliffs extend labor talks for 30 days, avert work stoppage

    The United Steelworkers (USW) union, U.S. Steel, and Cleveland-Cliffs on Monday agreed to extend the terms of their current labor contracts by 30 days. The current basic labor agreements between the USW and the two steelmakers had been scheduled to expire at 12:01 a.m. ET on Sept. 1. The extension allows the USW and the companies to continue negotiations. It also averts the immediate threat of a strike or lockout in a steel market already characterized by historically tight supplies.
