- The steel prices of Chinese market are continue rising, even weekly, daily, and hourly. The prices of steel-related products such as steel pipes, pipe fittings and flanges are affected heavily.
The condition of enterprise of steel pipes, fittings and flanges
Chinese foreign trade enterprises, especially the
steel-related products exporters, may face surging pressure in the
second half of this year, due to increasing commodity prices,
skyrocketing shipping costs, and a fluctuating foreign exchange rate.
We must notify customers of price increases in time, and remind customers to pay attention to the validity period of the price, and each order must be treated specially, the JS FITTINGS general director, Mr. Robin Yang Said.
JS FITTINGS produce and supply steel pipes, fittings and flanges to more than 30 countries. Because of the time differeence and projects demands, many customers can't arrange the payment in time, we have come out with many solutions to help customers keep the price.
The rising commodity prices and increasing shipping costs both weigh down on enterprises,Meanwhile, since many overseas manufacturers began to resume production earlier this year, the competition is also increasing.
Therefore, how to better serve customers and reduce each other's competitive pressure and cost input will be an important task this year.
