Supply Chain Research

The U.S. ITC has voted to retain antidumping duties on imports of iron construction products, including manhole covers and gratings, from Brazil, Canada and China for a further five years. While the producers in those countries still have a 5.1% share of imports, current trade is dominated by exporters from India. Mexican manufacturers, including Bel and Acerlan, have only 4% of the market right now, so have an opportunity to grow under the new U.S. administration’s potential infrastructure plans.
