Ati Inc's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers
Markets for our products and services in both of our business segments are highly competitive. We compete with many producers and distributors who, depending on the product involved, range from large diversified enterprises to smaller companies specializing in particular products. Factors that affect our competitive position are the quality of our products, service and delivery capabilities, our capabilities to produce a wide range of specialty materials in various alloys and product forms, our technological capabilities including our research and development efforts, our marketing strategies, the prices for our products and services, our manufacturing costs, and industry manufacturing capacity.
We face competition from both domestic and foreign companies. Some of our
foreign competitors are either directly or indirectly subsidized by governments.
In 1999, the United States imposed anti-dumping and countervailing duties on
dumped and subsidized imports of stainless steel sheet and strip in coils and
stainless steel plate in coils from companies in ten foreign countries. The
anti-dumping and countervailing duty orders were reviewed in 2011 by the U.S.
Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission to determine
whether the orders should remain in place for another five years. The agencies
decided that eight such orders against five countries will continue in effect.
We continue to monitor unfairly traded imports from foreign producers for appropriate
action.
