– LATHAM UPDATE –
Dear Valued Customer,
We are sure you are keenly aware that our industry is experiencing unprecedented demand. Pool sales are at levels the industry has not seen in well over a decade. This surge in demand, driven by COVID19, was a tidal wave versus a slow incoming tide like we have seen in years past. We strive every day to support you and to meet this demand by providing quality products, services, programs, and dedicated people that truly care about you, our customer.
In parallel to the heightened demand, we have seen increases in raw material, operational labor, and freight costs. We continue to work hard to control costs in all aspects of our business and to drive initiatives to offset these costs wherever possible. We will also be investing heavily into our manufacturing infrastructure to increase production capacity, while ensuring a safe working environment for our employees.
Despite our best efforts to control costs, we find it necessary to announce the following fiberglass price increases for the upcoming season. This increase goes into effect on orders placed on or after September 7, 2020.
Fiberglass % Increase Effective Date Pools 5% September 7th, 2020 Spas & Tanning Ledges 5% September 7th, 2020 Accessories 5% September 7th, 2020
- 2020 In-season Orders placed prior to the effective date will receive current pricing but must have a valid delivery address and ship by December 11, 2020
- Updated price lists will be provided shortly
Our goal is to ensure you have all information necessary to effectively plan for and reflect these changes in your business. Please contact your local Latham Sales representative if you have any immediate needs or concerns.
Sincerely,
Bob Harper
Chief Commercial Officer
