Price Increase Notifications
2020 has been quite a year! Besides the crisis in PPE, we haven’t seen many movements on price pages from our suppliers during the pandemic. However, this is starting to change. Resin markets are tightening up and the overall costs of the pandemic are forcing some of our suppliers to pass along some increases. The continuing strong US dollar is also putting pressure on our products made in the United States.
