COATINGS, LLC
One of the major ways that AMERIFORM® can reduce your cost is by allowing you to go to a lower grade of steel, thus saving major costs. We work within a growing family of mills and service centers, all concerned about helping you reduce cost as we are all under the same pressures. They work with us, to work with you, to identify major cost reduction opportunities — because of the very unique, patented, engineered abilities of AMERIFORM®, which allow us to do this.

A Tier 1 supplier goes from 46.00%–48.00% elongation steel on an oil pan with an abnormally high reject rate to 40.34% elongation steel with a reject rate under 1% — a savings of 35¢ premium for the higher-elongation steel.
A lawn & garden manufacturer goes from EDDQ to DQ, saving $1.41 per blank.
A supplier to the appliance industry reduces the nickel content on stainless steel by 1%, saving 10¢ plus a 2¢/lb premium.
