Empire Industries 7/14/2025 Price Increase

On Wednesday, June 4th, the U.S. increased its Section 232 steel & aluminum tariff: raising the current 25% tariff to 50%. Due to the direct increases incurred from this tariff adjustment as well as related increases in the cost of domestic raw material, we will be implementing a price increase of up to 15% on select imported and domestically manufactured product, effective Monday, July 14th. Select groups of products may require an additional increase beyond the stated amount.

Please note that all pricing quotations on imported product provided before June 4th are no longer valid and will need to be reviewed, updated, and approved prior to the release of material. In addition, any quotations provided on domestically manufactured product will expire five days after issuance. Furthermore, Empire reserves the right to limit purchased quantities if deemed necessary.

In addition to this price increase, due to the rising cost of transportation both domestically and abroad, Empire will be increasing our full-freight allowances nationwide.

Given the uncertainty of the current times, in the event these tariffs are removed or adjusted in any way, Empire will adjust the details of this increase and inform you as quickly as we are able.

We appreciate your continued support and look forward to servicing your future needs.
