FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Steel Force Majeure…

Dear Valued Customer;

As the “Leading Importer of Coil Roofing” in the US today, we take our role seriously. We know that you, our customers, depend on us for quality product, timely delivery and accurate market information. While we were the ones to get out in front of the unprecedented spike in steel prices and set a policy to assure no production interruptions, we have had a week to wrap our arms around this situation. I know many plants have stopped production and refuse to produce orders for some of the other nail importers. In our case, by having our own CMI Staff on the ground, he met with each of our plants and we have continued to produce as is required to meet our customer’s needs.

We take our position as the leading importer of roofing nails seriously, and we shipped almost all nail containers on time, spared no cost, had to use “Premium Freight” to accomplish this, but we met our goals and supported our customers.
