STEEL PRICE DISRUPTIONS EXPECTED DUE TO RUSSIA-UKRAINE CONFLICT

Simon Pelly • March 16, 2022

The devastating impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the effect of war on its citizens is unimaginable. At a time of crisis, however, it’s heartening to see so many nations coming forward to provide aid and support.

 

Sadly, the impact to the European and UK steel industry, as a result of the dreadful events taking place, will inevitably be price increases across all products we sell.

 

The consequences of energy supplies being disrupted, the availability of raw materials, and the disruption to freight and distribution channels, means that many of the mills are now ‘off-market’. As a result, they are now declining any new business until they have a clearer idea of how all these factors will affect their selling price.

 

Although we cannot provide any definitive answers at the moment, we will do our best to keep you updated as more information becomes available over the coming days and weeks.

 

In the meantime, please do ask if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to get in touch.

At S&A Fabrications, we’ve been building Roundhouses for years—mainly for livestock, feed storage, or agricultural machinery. But every now and then, a project comes along that takes us in a completely new direction. That’s exactly what happened when the team from Kynren approached us with an unusual brief: to create custom Roundhouses to house birds of prey for their upcoming live outdoor show.

In the realm of construction, ensuring the safety and security of structures is paramount. From residential buildings to commercial complexes, every edifice needs robust fire protection measures in place to safeguard lives and property. At S&A Fabrications, we take this responsibility seriously, constantly exploring innovative solutions to elevate construction standards. In our latest project - a farm shop - the application of intumescent paint to the internal steel structure marks a significant stride towards enhancing fire safety.
