Final Thoughts
Written by John Packard
I am asking manufacturing companies if their company buys parts from China, and if so, what has the coronavirus done to shipments of their products. An ag-related company told me the workers are just returning to the plant in China after the extended holidays. I was told they were seeing at least a two-week delay in delivery expectations and they are not sure if that could be extended should workers not be allowed on the docks, or if the parts can’t get delivered for shipment.
If your company is getting parts from China, please let me know what you are seeing from your suppliers (confidentially of course). You can reach me at John@SteelMarketUpdate.com
