The Metal Center News staff is putting the finishing touches on our April issue, which will allow us to turn our attention to the May edition. And each year, the May issue of MCN is our equipment purchasing issue.

Highlighting our editorial coverage is the annual Top Brands survey, which reveals the equipment brands that are top of mind among service center readers. The survey is a valuable resource for both consumers of equipment as well as the equipment makers, letting them know how effective they’ve been at building their brands.

This year’s installment of the Top Brands has been expanded to include service center software, ERP and other programs that allow distribution companies to take advantage of the gains in information technology to better run a business.

Service center executives who have yet to fill out the survey are encouraged to do so here.

To show our appreciation for taking the two minutes to complete the survey, MCN will offer three random entrants the opportunity to win prepaid gift cards. Respondents are not asked to rank equipment makers – merely to identify which companies you’d be willing to recommend.

Thanks again for your participation in this annual effort.
