Announcing Waterworks Quick Ship Report

Oct 17, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Good Morning,

We are excited to announce a new Waterworks Quick Ship Report meant to assist your sales teams in quickly identifying Waterworks families that are currently in stock and available for quick ship (report attached above). Each report will feature a specific Waterworks family or families with both fittings and accessories in a specific finish and handle type that is currently in stock and available for quick ship. Our expectation is that any orders placed for items on this report will ship out right away, otherwise availability could change if an order is held from shipping.  As with anything stock related, please be sure to verify stock quantities are available with your Waterworks Project Coordinator prior to placing any orders. Please note that this tool is an internal reference guide only and should not be emailed or shared with clients.

We will communicate this report via email each week as well as posted to your Boutique Partner Communication Page on the WIN portal.

This week’s Quick Ship Report features the following families pictured below:

Waterworks Studio-

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Channel Support or your Regional Manager.

SBD100-199NE Announcement

Oct 17, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Dear Valued State Water Heaters partners,

This communication is to inform you of the factory’s plan to retire the SANDBLASTER SELF CLEANING model SBD100-199NE.  This model was created many years ago, as an answer to a competitive replacement opportunity, which has by now, run its course.  The model 100-199NE and the 100-199NET are so similar, that it is inefficient to continue to manufacture both, when the vast majority of our volume is now going with the NET.

So, our plan is to discontinue manufacture of this model within the next 90 days, or as soon as all orders have been filled.  Please place any final orders for this model by December 14th, for normal lead times.

If you have any questions, please contact the office directly.

Thank you,

Maura Belajac Jones

Director of Inside Sales and Operations

Tariff Surcharge Effective Date – November 1, 2018

Oct 16, 2018 by Leave a Comment

October 15, 2018

Dear Valued Emtek Customer,

As we notified you on October 2nd, a large majority of Emtek’s products have been affected by the tariff imposed by the US Government on September 24th.

Effective Thursday November 1, 2018, Emtek will apply a 3.7% surcharge to the Net Invoice amount for all products with the exception of Cabinet Hardware (identified on pages 6-52 in the October 2018 Cabinet & Bath Hardware Price Book).

This surcharge will help to offset a portion of our cost increases – and will remain separate and transparent from our published list prices. As the tariff situation changes, we will adjust or remove the applied surcharge on applicable products as necessary. We will communicate any changes as far in advance as possible. Our aim is to minimize the impact on your business.

We greatly appreciate your business and patience during this time.

Sincerely,
EMTEK Products

[NOTICE] Upcoming Price Changes

Oct 16, 2018 by Leave a Comment
To Our EWS Family,

I am sure you all know that there is some uncertainty in US and foreign markets regarding trade and tariffs. Many sources of raw materials, energy, parts and manufactured goods have already felt the impact and no doubt you have already seen or anticipate price increases for various products in many categories.

All EWS, Inc./Environmental Water Systems water filtration and treatment products have and always will be designed, manufactured and assembled in the USA. This decision was made years ago to ensure quality control, uninterrupted supply and has also added to our stability in costs and pricing.

I am very proud of the fact that EWS has only had 7 price increases over the last 32 years. It speaks to our quality, service and efficiency. In our 2018 pricing, which became effective December 31st, 2017, we had price decreases on some of our most popular products and developed more aggressive stocking programs and tiered discounts to encourage and reward realistic quantity purchases.

Even though tariffs on foreign goods and materials do not directly affect any EWS product, our vendors are feeling the economic pressure and have announced price increases to EWS that we can no longer absorb or control.

We have never done across-the-board increases. We will be making targeted price adjustments only and announcing these targeted increases (from 5% up to 11%) by November 1st, which will be effective as of December 1st, 2018.

Before you panic, we want to let you know that some key product will still be lower than 2015-2017 pricing. For example, the Max Flow and EWS Whole Home product, even with the slight price increase coming in December, will still be below 2015-2017 pricing.

There will be no inventory disruptions compared to the instability others may be facing with foreign supply chain issues.

New price sheets will be available to all purchasing associates as of November 1st. Revised EWS Summary Product and List Price Guides will available to update all EWS binders throughout November.

The entire EWS crew and I appreciate your continued support and understanding. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call us.

Best,
Howard
President/CEO

Correction to V & A 2018 Price list

Oct 12, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Dear Valued Customer,

Victoria & Albert has discovered that the drain is listed incorrectly for the Pembrooke tub which is on page 06 of the price book.  It is showing the K-51-xx for the accessories but that is a typo.  It should list the K-50-xx as the correct drain for that tub.  Please make correction to your price book.

Thanks in advance.
