Steel Building Prices Rising

DENTON, Texas, Jan. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- RHINO Steel Building Systems, Inc., a leader in the prefabricated metal building market, is announcing a price increase effective January 26, 2013.  The price rise is due to a surge in raw steel costs from the company's steel suppliers. 

RHINO will lock-in current pricing for any metal building orders placed by January 25, 2013, provided delivery is not delayed by the customer.  Normal delivery time on RHINO orders is six-seven weeks from order date.

The price rise is expected to be about 3% across the steel industry.  Experts predict this may be just the first of several increases over the coming year.

Higher scrap steel prices and increased demand are cited as some of the reasons for the price hikes by steel suppliers. 

Conservation of natural resources requires recycled steel be used in the production of all new steel.  Consequently, when scrap steel costs rise, so does new steel pricing. 

RHINO's steel framing, for example, averages about 89.5% recycled steel content.  The recycled steel comes primarily from junked automobiles, steel cans, and discarded household appliances.  However, recycled steel may also include dismantled steel bridges, old railroad cars and rails, or even junked ships and submarines.
