Company Description

The Tin Man never would have rusted had he been built with metal from Carpenter Technology. It processes basic raw materials such as cobalt, nickel, manganese, and titanium to make various corrosion-resistant materials. Most sales come from stainless steel products and alloys that provide special heat- or wear-resistance or special magnetic or conductive properties. Finished products come in billet, bar, rod, wire, and other forms. Carpenter also produces certain metal powders. Markets include aerospace, automotive, medical, and industrial companies. Aerospace accounts for more than 40% of sales. In 2012 Carpenter acquired rival Latrobe Specialty Metals for $558 million.

    Sample Questions & Answers

    What is the company's strategy for dealing with cyclical changes in metal demand?

    Demand for primary metals depends on the health of the US manufacturing sector, particularly the manufacture of motor vehicles, metal products, and machinery, and commercial construction. Demand can be highly cyclical: during the late 2000s recession,...

      Sample Questions & Answers

      How do changes in interest rates affect the company's profits?

      Because many distributors finance their inventories, they're sensitive to interest rates. On average, distributors hold inventory equal to 35 days sales, but machinery distributors may hold products for more than 50 days. Food and petroleum product...

       

      How much business has the company lost due to retailers buying directly from manufacturers?

      Big retailers like Wal-Mart, Home Depot, and Costco buy much of their merchandise directly from manufacturers, bypassing distributors. Because they buy in large quantity and operate their own warehouse systems, these retailers don't need distributors.

        Competitive Landscape Brief

        Demand comes largely from the manufacturers of durable goods like motor vehicles, machinery, containers, and construction steel. The profitability of individual companies depends largely on efficient operations, because most products are commodities sold based on price. Big companies have large economies of scale in production. Accordingly, most producers of secondary products buy raw metal from the large producers. Small companies can compete by operating efficient local mini-mills or producing specialty products. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per worker is about $640,000. Imports of primary metals make up about half of the US market. Canada, Mexico, Russia, Brazil, Germany, and China are top suppliers of US primary metals imports. Exports account for about 30 percent of US production. Canada, the UK, and Mexico are the leading export markets.
