To all of our Valued Customers
Subject: : Deslauriers Product Pricing
As everyone is a now aware price for raw materials made of steel or petroleum has risen over 70 % since December of 2007. Globally the demands for these materials have played havoc on any cost containment strategy. We have tried our best to rein in cost thru increased production efficiencies and speculative advanced purchases of raw materials yet any ground we gain is quickly wiped out by what seems as weekly announcements from our vendors that they are raising our cost for raw materials.
Consequently we will be raising our prices on most of our products by an average of 10%.This is our first general price increase in over one year, by implementing these new prices effective July 15th, we will be able to insure that we will be able to continue to provide you on a timely basis the same quality products that you have become accustomed to.
Effective immediately new price sheets will be available on our website. All orders shipped after July 15 will be priced out at the new price.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding during this inflationary time. We hope that the global market will stabilize throughout the second half of 2008.
Thank you for your business.
Sincerely
Phil Cozza
Vice-President
