Below is another testimony from one of our members

Dear Gerhard

We are getting more and more frustrated each day regarding the availability of curtain steel sections. I predict that this will only get worse towards the end of the year.

I am sure that I am not the only one sitting with this problem. If we cannot procure materials we will not be able to complete projects, turnover will decrease, jobs will be lost.

My proposal is to import steel from other countries if our own steel producers can’t keep up, and not to push the duties on imported steel up …

Regards

We are all in this together.
