Recently, steel markets have become increasingly unpredictable. Between tariffs, trade policy shifts, and geopolitical tensions, manufacturers who rely on imported steel are facing real challenges: fluctuating prices, longer lead times, and disrupted supply chains.
This environment has put a spotlight on the strategic value of domestically sourced steel.
The Risks of Relying on Imported Steel
Many companies continue to source steel from overseas, attracted by short-term pricing or legacy supply agreements. But the landscape has changed.
- Tariffs and trade regulations can add unexpected costs
- Port congestion and global shipping delays threaten production timelines
- Currency fluctuations and international instability make long-term planning difficult
- Limited supplier transparency can increase quality and delivery risks
When your steel supply is tied to global uncertainty, it’s hard to run a reliable operation.
