COVID-19 – APRIL 5 UPDATE

Despite the many challenges associated with the ongoing pandemic, we are happy to report that our manufacturing facilities remain fully operational.  Unfortunately, over the last month past due orders have been on the rise due to factors beyond our direct control.  Cargo ships continue to endure one of the worst U.S. port bottlenecks in more than a decade. These delays cascade into longer turnaround times as containers are running 2 – 4 weeks late on average.  As a result, many component parts are in reduced supply putting additional strain on already limited resources.

Despite our best efforts to minimize the impact of these challenges, effective on all orders received on or after April 5^th  modified lead times are as follows:

·         Newport Brass Valves – 1 Day

·         Newport Brass ReadyShip – 3 weeks

·         Newport Brass Non-Readyship – 6 weeks

·         Ginger – 1 to 2 weeks

Attached is an Arrow-Gram. The Cove Dishwashers are on hold and quarantined to add an improvement. Once I find more information, I will keep you updated.
  Please pass this on. As the process moves forward, I will update you.

Miele is full steam ahead on our planned transition in June to move our G4000 dish line to G5000.  Below is a chart of the models that match up with their corresponding previous model; and attached is the breakdown of the G5000 lineup and our entire lineup.  Please update any quotes.  Keep in mind demand is going to outweigh supply so getting orders in to secure product is crucial.

Currently on hand we only have the below with May delivery dates, these will be the last G4000 units.

• G4228SCU
• G4977SCViSF
• G4993SCVi – ADA unit

It looks like a lot but there is really only five new units; just multiple that come panel ready and with pocket handles.

Please let me know if you have any initial questions.  I’ll be setting up trainings with each dealer in the near future.
