Supply Chain Statement

Continued Supply Chain and Cost Increase Issues

I wish I could tell you that things were getting better, but unfortunately they are not. There continues to be problems getting some products at all as well as delays in many of the products that we are able to get. Cost pressures also continue to build in many areas of the economy which is causing many price increases.

Many products made in the US continue to be delayed in production as factories simply have more orders than they can handle. With the rapidly improving economy, demand jumped up a lot in the last 3-4 months which caught many suppliers by surprise. They have found it hard to source materials in a timely manner to be able to produce their goods in increasing volumes. Many of the goods they need are much delayed or on allocation which means that they are limited in how much they can buy. For those that are able to source their products, the most common frustration I hear is that they are not able to find additional workers to be able to produce the additional amounts of goods. This leads to further delays in shipments and longer lead times. Many items that our suppliers used to be able to have produced in 30 days are now taking 90 days to get to us.

Products made overseas are also experiencing long delays. Understand that the problem is less about the factories being able to produce the products, and more about the shipping delays. The strong demand in many markets is also causing prices to increase.

We do expect that over time things will normalize and supply chains will return to balance. How long this process will take though is unknown at this time.
