The effect of the toxic combination of

IMPORT DUTIES
and
AMSA’s INABILITY TO SUPPLY

More business responses

• We have jobs to get out by year-end, and we are struggling to get common square and rectangular tube profiles and if you can get it, the prices are 30% higher. We are being held hostage by our own Government, which is on an investment drive, which is such a joke (i.e. Eskom -load shedding), how do we as small business owners survive this, especially on the back of Covid?

• We have a roof to finish for a combined usage Company/Domestic housing building. 3/4 of the roof is up already but we cannot get more lip channel and corrugated sheets to finish the project. We were told late January/Early February.

        This is completely unacceptable.

• I’ve worked in the Industry for 27 years. It is sickening to know that AMSA does not exist for SA anymore, and that the current AMSA management is only batting to keep their own wickets standing.

How is AMSA’s inability to supply the market affecting your business?
