Service Centers: Navigating Demand, Supply and Policy
Main Session
This panel of leading voices from across the flat-rolled steel distribution chain will take a closer look at where the market stands and where it may be headed. How service centers are managing demand, pricing volatility, inventory discipline and changing customer expectations in a market shaped by tariffs and trade policy.
The conversation will also examine what today’s demand patterns are signaling, where end markets remain strongest and how buyers are adapting to tighter supply conditions. For anyone looking to understand how policy, access and market tightness are shaping the downstream steel chain, this session should offer a clear and valuable view from the front lines.
