YC Inox, one of the major stainless steel welding pipe makers and the major stainless steel flat products service centers in Taiwan, has announced its combined sales revenue in October totaled NT$2.143 billion, rising by 7.1% from a month ago and increasing by 15.86% year on year. The company said that most of its October shipments were been booked in this August. Although its average sales prices were low at that time, the rising nickel price at that moment and the increasing container shipping price had still pushed its customers to increase orders booking. The situation helps YC Inox's October shipping quantity to reach the high level again and the company expected its total shipments in whole 2013 may reach to 300,000 tons level, 10% more than the figures in 2012.
