As of 1/18/12
| Aluminum Wire |
One of the largest aluminum rod manufacturing plants in North America is running at a significantly reduced capacity because of labor issues. As a result we have seen a very large price increase of over 20% on aluminum wire. The labor issues could be resolved tomorrow, or they could take months. Once they are resolved, prices should fall back somewhat |
 |
| Cooper Wire |
Copper has gone up nearly 50 cents a pound in the past month. Wire manufacturers have responded with price increases. Right now it looks like we can expect increases in the 10% range. |
 |
| PVC Conduit |
PVC conduit manufacturers are being told that their resin prices used to manufacture conduit will be increasing as we head into spring. Expect higher prices as a result. There is no word yet on what those increases will be.
|
 |
| Steel Conduit |
Steel conduit prices continue to climb. We are being told to expect more of the same over the next two to three months. Expect additional price increases of at least 10% and possibly more. |
