It is difficult to read the news today without coming across multiple stories about how prices of certain goods have skyrocketed or entire supply chains have been interrupted. Unfortunately, Freeman is not immune to these forces.
  • Certain raw materials used throughout our industry have either been put on allocation (meaning supply can’t meet demand) or suppliers are declaring Force Majeure (meaning that supply has been interrupted indefinitely).
  • Shipping, both domestic and international, has gotten much more expensive and certain routes have been subject to unprecedented delays given the shortage of trucks and empty shipping containers.
 
Expanding on the above, Ian McClaskey, our VP of Sales & Marketing, recently a memo on our website.  To read the full details, click here.
 
Originally, we intended to provide our newsletter subscribers with detailed information regarding specific product groups as they became affected. However, the situation has now become so complex and fluid that we are simply asking you to contact your local sales rep if you have any material needs that you may be concerned about our ability to supply.  Please know that we are doing or best to ensure continuity of supply by trying to increase inventories where possible, and by ensuring that we validate customer requirements before allowing the fulfillment of large orders.
 
If there are any broad, general updates, we will post them here in future newsletters.

2. Corrected the color (especially the skin tones).
3. Updated titles and product names.
4. Added some clarifying content.
5. Completely updated the motion graphics with clearer, more helpful content overlays.
