    18.  Retirement Plans: 

   The Company’s retirement plans consist of 401(k) plans covering union and non-union employees, a multi-employer pension plan covering certain CTI employees and a SERP covering certain executive officers of the Company.
    
   The 401(k) retirement plans allow eligible employees to contribute up to the statutory maximum. The Company’s non-union 401(k) matching contribution is determined annually by the Board of Directors and is based on a percentage of eligible employees’ earnings and contributions. For the 401(k) retirement plans, the Company matched one-half of each eligible employee’s contribution, limited to the first 6% of eligible compensation. For the Metal-Fab 401(k) retirement plans, the Company matched 50% of the first 5% of eligible compensation. For the Action Stainless 401(k) retirement plans, the Company matched 100% of the first 3% of eligible compensation and one-half of the next 2% of each eligible employee’s contribution, limited to 4% of eligible compensation.
    
   In 2006, the Board of Directors adopted a SERP, which has been amended from time to time. Contributions to the SERP are based on: (i) a portion of the participants’ compensation multiplied by a factor of 13%; and (ii) a portion of the participants’ compensation multiplied by a factor, which is contingent upon the Company’s return on invested capital. Benefits are subject to a vesting schedule of up to seven years.
    
   The Company, through its CTI subsidiary, contributes to a multiemployer pension plan. CTI contributes to the Multiemployer Plan under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement that covers certain of its union employees, and which expires  May 31, 2025. CTI contributions to the Multiemployer Plan were immaterial for the years ended  December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
