As you know, our division manufactures specialized pipes and elbows primarily for industrial/institutional facilities. The raw materials used for these related products are iron and copper, with iron the primary production input. Over the last few months, we have negotiated price reductions from our suppliers and expect per- pound prices for iron and copper to fall by 10 cents and 15 cents, respectively. These price reductions should begin to take effect next month.
