As market demands for castings from our customers continue to grow, a combination of market demand and tariff concerns, Ross & Catherall have increased our melting capabilities and capacities this quarter to meet the rising demands and alloy delivery requirements. We are also planning further expansions for Q4 and beyond.

As in previous years, Ross & Catherall will not close during the traditional summer holiday periods, when many companies in Europe schedule maintenance and holidays, typically from late July through to the end of August. Utilise our late July and August melt availability to ensure your alloy is on-site for your September melting requirements.

We maintain production to ensure that customers who continue to work during this period, as we do, receive their alloy deliveries.

We are currently reviewing our forward melt capacity and plans for Q3 and beyond to align our melting and staffing requirements with customer demands.

By acting now to secure your long-term alloy requirements, you can realise significant benefits. Combine these savings by utilising your revert to reduce alloy costs further and minimise the impact on your bottom line.

Contact your account manager to discuss your forward alloy demands and leverage the benefits of the current rates. If your current supplier cannot meet your requirements or help you realise these benefits, please contact us via LinkedIn or visit our webpage at www.rossandcatherall.com and click on the “contact us” link.
