To our valued customers,
Automation Products Group, Inc. is committed to developing relationships with our customers that support business success for both parties. During the last year, we all have faced unprecedented times as we experienced the effects on the economy resulting from the global pandemic, political turmoil, and various social tensions. These challenges have been far reaching and have impacted most everyone we know.
We can report that APG is a stronger company despite these challenges, but their impact on APG’s supply chain has been significant. The unpredictability of material pricing, lead times, and part availability are the largest problems currently affecting our manufacturing. Utilizing industry forecasts, we have determined that these challenges will continue into the foreseeable future with probable stability occurring in late 2022 or early 2023.
To mitigate the risks associated with these challenges, we encourage you to communicate with us and place orders as far out as you feel comfortable. This will allow us to work with our supply chain to secure availability, obtain the best prices, and achieve delivery schedules that support our mutual success.
Again, we appreciate you as customers, and are thankful for your support and patience as we work through these difficult times.
Please contact APG’s Sales Department if you have any questions, concerns, or would just like to discuss this further.
Dan Jones
Vice President of Operations and General Manager
