Dear Friends and Partners,

We appreciate your continued support and patience as we battle through these current economic
challenges. We have been monitoring the raw material market over the past two weeks since we
sent the price increase notification, unfortunately the market has not settled. As we’re sure you
are aware, the recent announcement of the imposition of tariffs on the metals market has had the
effect of a significant increase in the cost of purchasing raw metal both globally and domestically.
In addition, our paint costs, corrugated packaging costs, shipping costs, and wood pallet costs still
continue to be negatively affected by our current higher rate of inflation.

As a result of these current economic challenges and resulting increased costs driven by tariffs,
please note that effective on our shipments made on and after March 17, 2025, we will be
increasing the prices on our aluminum, galvanized and plastic based products. Percentages of
increase are:

1. Aluminum products 10%
2. Steel products 5%
3. Plastic products 3%


Thank you for your continued support. Again, we appreciate your business. Please don’t hesitate
to contact us with any questions.

Sincerely,
