I wanted to give you all an update on Baldwin Estate’s production facility in Nogales Mexico.

As you all know the Mexican Government closed all non-medical manufacturing in the town of Nogales in early April due to Covid19.  Based on closure we started giving all new orders a 8 week lead-time.  We also extended lead-times on open orders that we did not have in stock at our distribution facility in Kansas.

As of today no official opening has been given for the Nogales, MX production facility.  With this in mind we have to make adjustments to lead-times. 

·         Any current open orders that have already been acknowledged please add additional 4 weeks.

·         Any new Estate orders that Baldwin does not have stock will be acknowledged with 12 weeks.  This does not affect Baldwin Quickship program.

You should start getting updated acknowledgement early next week on open orders.

I continue to get weekly open order updates if you want to call me to check on a specific line item please do.  I’d be happy to work with you to find alternatives in our Quickship Estate Program, Baldwin Reserve or with one of our wholesale suppliers.

Baldwin is extremely hopeful this is a worse case extension. We are already starting to see surrounding states along the northern border in Mexico starting to open up manufacturing.  If I get any news good or bad I will be sure to send out update immediately.

Please give me a call if you would like to talk live.

Below are two links have a ton of info on them.  The most notable is you can pull all one sheeters about any product here and all our promo imagery is hosted here.  Take a look around and let me know if you have any questions.

We have made some helpful changes to the inventory file so it’s easier to look for information and also understand what is supposed to be in stock versus what is current (special order) and Discontinued. We started in January at a low base of around 50% availability. Our continuous efforts to balance and increase stocks are showing a much better and healthier inventory level now towards our target of 95% in stock at all times.

In the attachment, you will find a new color coded column explained below: You can filter, by column, depending what you’re looking for.

1. GREEN – Stock program – 93% in stock. The missing items are mainly some NEW Luce items and some Puzzle units.
2. NO Color – Current items but without stock commitment – 31% in stock.
3. RED -Discontinued items for US market, 319 SKU´s of which we still carry stocks in 78% of the items.

With the changes, you can continue to filter by column. The new catalogue will contain new models and the GREEN category will continue to grow.

Have a great rest of the week and let’s hope May bounces back with some form of “normality” in daily business for you all.
