Yup.I have zero inside info but I call BS. My company uses tons of aluminum extrusions every month. Our suppliers have doubled prices in the last year and close to tripled lead times. We wait. We absorb what increase we can and we pass along the rest to our customers. Everyone pays roughly the same for energy.
This seems like just an excuse or negotiation tactic. Regardless, I’m sorry for their employees and hope they can find new work quickly. Elkhart in hiring!
Everything's gonna go up.
So, why don't they increase their cost?
