Year to date shipments in this sector are just behind the comparable period last year but, based on what we hear from the street, we expect them to catch up before year end. Supply-side reports indicate good order rates and import levels have caught up with last year. This is not a done deal as we are still concerned about the gap in construction planning work from early this year and when/if it will be visible to this market. With results to date, however, this will be a solid year for the product line given the economic turmoil over the last 6 months.
