Material price swings can derail project budgets and cut into margins. Flack Global Metals pairs nationwide steel and aluminum supply with Flack Capital Markets (FCM)—our price risk management division—to give you control over costs and confidence in your bids.

We help manufacturers and contractors:

Lock in pricing for upcoming projects—no surprises when it’s time to buy.

  • Choose flexible terms with fixed, floating, or ceiling/floor pricing options.
  • Protect inventory value if the market drops, while keeping material accessible.
  • Bid with confidence by holding firm pricing while awaiting contract awards.
  • Avoid mispriced imports by securing pricing while material is in transit.
  • Free up working capital by unlocking value tied up in inventory.
  • Meet sustainability goals with carbon offset sourcing and carbon neutrality strategies.
