Managing Price Risk

Help for volatile and unpredictable pricing.

Fluctuating markets critically impact your costs, margins, and overall business performance. At Worthington, we pioneered the steel futures market, to help eliminate speculation and volatility, set fixed prices, and match supply with demand.

We partner with you on strategic solutions that help reduce risk:

Helping you manage risk to stabilize profitability
Trading daily, domestically (HRC) & internationally (LME, with fixed zinc costs for Galvanized & Coated)
Offering index, spot, firm pricing or any combination
Optimizing efficiencies within your supply chain
