Randy Boswell, vice president of North American Sales for Atlas Tube Inc. in Plymouth, Michigan, the nation's largest HSS producer, agreed that HSS is widely available. "Lead times have come down from six-to-eight weeks earlier this year to four to five weeks today," he said. "Our next cycle is sold out but future production runs are open." Atlas' production cycle is three-to-four weeks (meaning they produce every size they sell within that time period) and a little more than 70% of their sales are to service centers. "While supplies are tighter than a year ago, HSS is still readily available and on a good schedule," he stated. -

A pickup in non-residential construction should boost demand for HSS tubing, said Randy Boswell, vice president, North American sales for Atlas Tube (US) Inc. in Michigan. However because the industry is only at 65% utilization, the landscape will remain competitive, he said.
