Marvel 3-1-2021

There are a lot of New Marvel models being introduced in 2021. We had announced a 3.1.21 price increase but they have decided postpone this increase until 4.1.21. I have attached the current price sheet and the 4.1.21 price sheet. Please visit the revamped Marvel Website www.marvelrefrigeration.com . Let me know if you have any questions.

Stone Forest 2021 PDF Pricebook effective March 15, 2021

The 2021 price list will take effect March 15th. Please click here to view and download the pdf binder price list. This is a comprehensive price list for all current items and includes the Elemental collection.  Version 2 of the excel price list is available if you click here.  Our sales representatives will deliver hard copies of the new price list to your showroom around the end of this month.  If you don’t have a sales rep, we will be mailing you copies ASAP.  

While most price increases are modest, we held off on any price increases in 2020 and our material costs for carrara and white onyx increased considerably. This is reflected in the new price list.

Elemental Collection: The comprehensive price list for this award-winning modular collection begins on page P8 of the pdf version. It has two sections. The first is a “build your own” format in three, user friendly steps. The second section lists the most popular configurations for easy reference and ordering. You can view more configurations as well as paint color options by visiting stoneforest.com/elemental.  We’ve added walnut drawers and shelves to the collection and we’ll soon have photos of this material on the website. 

 As we create new designs, we continue to purge old ones. If you don’t see an old favorite on the price list, please check our website for availability and pricing.  Logging in as a dealer will give you access to current list prices. The password is “st0ne” (all lower case, the “0” is a zero). 

It’s been a year full of unexpected challenges and we feel a deep appreciation for all the wonderful, passionate people that have become an integral part of our community.

GERBER CHINA PRICE INCREASE

As an industry leading plumbing brand committed to professionals, Gerber continually strives to provide the high-performance products you and your business have come to expect.

We have held Gerber vitreous china prices steady for more than three years, however we are facing unprecedented international freight costs along with various manufacturing cost increases. While we continue to aggressively drive manufacturing efficiencies and other cost containment measures, we cannot fully absorb these increases while maintaining our high standards of quality and operational excellence. I am writing to inform of you of a necessary price increase that will be implemented in order to continue to provide the Gerber products and service you have come to expect.

·         We will be increasing weighted average list prices on Gerber VC by 3.5% effective May 3, 2021.

·         There will be no changes to list prices for faucets, bath drains, fittings, and replacement parts at this time.

·         All non-quoted orders for immediate shipment received on or before May 2, 2021 will receive pricing based on the current list prices (up to normal purchase levels).

·         The 2021 Gerber U.S. Full Line Price Book will be digitally available in April and hard copies will begin to ship to all customers at the end of May.  

We greatly appreciate your support as we continue to build upon our steadfast commitment to serving the professional plumbing trade.

Toto Lead Time Updates

Phylrich Lead Times

For those who have orders in you have experienced that lead times are longer recently.Phylrich had very strong growth in 2020 despite the challenges of the pandemic.  Sales were up well into double digits.
The owner invested in more equipment and employees to accommodate the growth and plan for the future.  We were making progress.
Then Phylrich announced a 10% price increase on the “legacy” designs in the program that went into effect February 1st.  
The result was a significant increase in orders the last 10 days of January as customers wanted to beat the increase.  This put us behind again.
I am told that we are making progress and expect to be back to stated lead times in 30 days.  
The company considers these finishes as standard 004, 014, 015, 026 and 040 with a target lead time of 4 to 6 weeks and all other finishes will be 8 weeks; hopefully by April 1st.  

Fleurco 2021

Hey Folks,

I’ve updated you all with the Fleurco 2021 catalogs. Here is the link for online version: https://fleurco.com/en/shower-enclosure/catalogues

The Fleurco website is very good. You can review any product and can price out any product by using the DESIGN YOUR SHOWER feature. https://fleurco.com.

This line is growing very quickly for us. It’s always been a great shower door and shower base line but now the tubs are selling very well and the new wall system is taking off.

Fleurco’s quality is excellent, price points are fair and service levels are great. If your order is in stock Fleurco ships in 2 days out of stock 2/3 weeks.
