Hot off the press!  The newly redesigned AGA price books featuring all of the new Class Cast Iron collection are attached. Pricing shown goes into effect May 16, 2022.  Just a reminder that this update reflects the following in the US:

1. All Mercury & Elise series had a 10% increase.  Mercury series now has new color names, BUT we have cross-referenced what replaces what as the physical color (e.g. Ash Black = Matte Black) is the same.  We are still working thru some inventory on the existing names, but we have started receiving the new finishes in Buford and Chino.

1. The new R7 and eR7 Classic AGA series had a 5% increase on the 24” and 39” width units.  7% on 60” wide or greater models.

Water Street Brass Updates

Dear valued customer,

I’m writing to give you some updates on what’s happening at Water Street. We’ve been working hard to increase our production capacity while fine-tuning our quality control, and we’re making great strides! I’m sure you’ve seen the results of this hard work in the frequency of the shipments you’re receiving as we continue to focus on delivering on what we promise. As things improve, we will be able to shorten lead times again, and you will receive another email next week detailing this, so stay tuned!

As with many manufacturers within our industry, we are also experiencing increased costs due to labor, high demand of raw materials and supply chain challenges. Therefore, we must institute a price increase on April 1st of 6% on cabinet hardware. Door hardware pricing will not be affected at this time. 

The only collection of cabinet hardware not affected by this increase is Urban Loft. Remember, you can order both Urban Loft and the new Tab Pulls collection now, and you should have received new printed pages showing these collections for your binder over the last few weeks.

We will be sending a digital copy of the price increase in catalog pages as well as an excel spreadsheet in time for the April 1st effective date. Hard copies will be provided when we re-do the cabinet catalog in the next few months. We are excited to announce that it will now be organized by collection!

As always, we want to thank you again for your loyalty and patience over the last few years, and we look forward to sharing even more exciting things ahead for 2022 and beyond. If you have any questions, please reach out to your sales rep or to our folks in customer service. We truly value your business.
 

Best Regards,
