We did the same actually as did a couple of the local suppliers we use. But now, we starting to get to critical limits. The Problem is three-fold. One, we kept the foot to the floor on production and new projects while our competitors had to cut back. This led to problem 2, the clients that our competitors had, jumped ship to us, which is good, and we were able to supply them, but problem 3, arose in the fact the above two issues ate thru inventory at an even faster rate than ever seen before.
I tell you all this because the company I work for, builds and maintains the equipment, both ours and competitors, to produce nearly 80 percent of the food you all find in grocery stores and restaurants. There’s wearable items on these machines that we have to replace routinely. Right now, we’re okay. But if things don’t change in the next 5 weeks, expect shortages to get worse on food items.
