Important Notice: Price Adjustment Due to New Tariffs

We are reaching out to inform you of an important revision to the import tariff on steel products initiated by the Trump administration.
As you may have heard or read in the news the Trump Administration has revised the tariff program on imported steel, which includes tin-plated steel. Unfortunately, this change will have a significant impact on our unit costs, as tin-plated steel is the key material in the manufacturing of our products. For the tins, covers, cans, and other metal components Independent Can Company produces and supplies, tin-plated steel represents anywhere from 50% to 75% of our selling prices.
After carefully reviewing the situation, we have determined that we must adjust our prices to reflect these increased costs. Starting April 1st, there will be an increase in the prices of the products you purchase from us. This adjustment is necessary to ensure that we can continue to provide you with the high-quality products and service you have come to expect.
In the United States there are 3 tin plating lines. These lines have the capacity to produce around 30% of the tin plate needed to make the cans that are manufactured in the United States. This means that all can makers must import close to 70% of the tin plated steel they need for production. Consequently, the tariffs have an adverse effect on every single can manufacturer.
Of course, we recognize that price changes can be challenging, and we want to reassure you that we are doing everything possible to minimize the impact on our customers. Over the past 4 years Independent Can has invested, back into our business, 30 million dollars. We have focused on replacing old lines with new lines that will allow us to improve the value proposition (quality, capacity, lead time, and more) and ensure we can supply for decades to come. We value your business and are committed to maintaining the best possible value for our tins.
If you have any questions or concerns about these changes, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to assist you and ensure a smooth transition during this time.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
Sincerely,
