This fact will require that HMI raise our price $.10 per pound, effective May 12th. We are projecting these prices to hold for the next 1-2 months. HMI is working hard to absorb most of the cost increases of recent purchases. Even with this cost increase, most of our concrete lifting foams will remain under $2,000.00 a barrel set with NO shortage in supply for HMI customers. It is also important to note that, all HMI Elite pricing and shipping discounts will remain in place.As we monitor the competitive landscape we continue to hear reports within the industry that many are struggling with poly shortages and drastic price increases. Our goal is to always provide our customers with a competitive advantage with materials and equipment. Now may be an opportune time to promote your availability and positioning.Thank you for business and for continuing to be a loyal partner with HMI.Jeff Cvetezar & Brian CvetezarMarch 11, 2021SUBJECT: Polyurethane Shortages – NOT A CONCERN FOR HMI CUSTOMERSAs many of you may have read or heard there are continuous reports of polyurethane product shortages and an anticipated forecast for continued shortages over the next several months. Following numerous inquiries from our customers, we have decided to address this issue.HMI has completed an extensive review of our inventory of raw material, and availability of our components from suppliers. Simultaneously we also completed updated projections allowing for strong growth by HMI customers for polyurethane concrete lifting products over 2020 demand. We are confident in projecting that no HMI customer will experience a business interruption due to lack of supply of polyurethane concrete lifting products in the foreseeable future. Our historic bulk purchasing practices and the unique formulation of HMI products for concrete lifting has created this unique and advantageous circumstance while the bulk of the market will be stressed to meet demand.Unfortunately we are simultaneously experiencing increases in the cost of our raw materials due to the market demand and short supply. This situation may force us to increase prices in the months ahead (we are predicting a $.05 – $.10 increase by middle/end of April). We assure you that we are doing everything to hold our prices right now.All HMI Elite pricing and shipping discounts will stay in place, with no changes.This is the time for you, our valued HMI customer, to leverage your competitive advantages against your competition who will be experiencing shortages and major price increases.Thank you for business and for being a loyal partner with HMI.Jeff Cvetezar & Brian Cvetezar Joint News ReleaseManitowoc, WI – September 10, 2020HMI & MAGNUM PIERING REACH AGREEMEMT TO CO-MARKET“Market Leaders in Concrete Lifting Systems and Foundation Piering Systems join forces to Co – Market Each Other’s Products” Read Full Press Release HERE World of Concrete 2020February 4-7, 2020 in Las Vegas, NevadaDecorate Concrete Lot-Outside across from South HallBooth # O41045LIVE DEMOS ALL DAY, EVERYDAYNEW EQUIPMENTMeet the HMI TeamContact Us for DISCOUNTED Tickets!
