FRANKE to Avoid Broad Scale Price Increase
The US government has increased the import tariffs on goods manufactured in China from 10% to 25%, effective as of June 1st, 2019. FRANKE has been absorbing and mitigating the earlier 10% tariffs in order to allow our partners to remain competitive and we will continue to do so with the additional 15% tariff increase.
We can confidently inform you that FRANKE will not increase our general pricing structure for the wholesale business.
However, we need to take two specific actions to assist with mitigation of this impact.
● We will adjust the net pricing for our CUBE sink line – which is made in China, (see below to download)
● We will suspend our cash discount terms until the tariff situation normalizes
Both actions will go into effect for orders placed as of June 1st, 2019.

Move While The Door Is Open!

Move While The Door Is Open!
Author John Mason says, “Opportunity is lost in deliberation.”
What door is currently open for you that you are currently making excuses not to enter?
The great educator and scientist George Washington Carver said, “Ninety-nine percent of failures come from people who have a habit of making excuses.”
Remember, opportunity is a visitor, so don’t assume it will be back tomorrow.
Now is the time to move while the door is open!
