In the past year, we have made strides towards getting our lead times back to pre-pandemic levels. We have invested in a new plant, increased recruiting efforts for all of our US locations, and partnered with the La Porte community to help train future welders.
We have taken several steps to improve lead times on drawings and shipments. These include:
- Opened our seventh plant in Philadelphia, Mississippi to increase manufacturing capacity
- Increased our manufacturing workforce by 41% since mid 2020
- Shifted internal resources to focus on reducing drawing lead times
- Expanded second shift at multiple manufacturing locations
We are committed to continually improving lead times in the future.
- Reduce catalog fan drawing lead times to 2 weeks by April 1st - Accomplished
- Reduce custom fan drawing lead times to 4 weeks by June 1st
- Reduce shipping lead times to pre-pandemic levels by October 1st
