Distributors & small fence companies need each other. What effects one will eventually effect the other. When standards turn into laws then turn into regulations it will eventually hurt smaller companies while eliminating the need for distributors if we don't have smaller companies to service. We must protect the entire industry including all the manufacturers, all distributors, larger companies & smaller companies to keep our fencing ecosystem functioning. What I see happening is distributors taking themselves out by not fighting with me against over-regulating the smaller companies. Supporting FWA and everything we do is supporting having more fence and gate companies in our industry that need distributors.

CRRC’s US contract cancelled   The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) has taken the decision to terminate a contract for 45 double-deck coaches. The USD 185 mln contract was awarded in 2017, but deliveries have been disrupted for four years. SEPTA states that it is “assessing its options for recouping funds” implying more than USD 50 mln that has been spent on the project.   In 2022, SEPTA’s CEO Leslie Richards highlighted a number of concerns regarding the rolling stock assembled in Springfield. These included insufficient water-tightness, low-quality wiring, non-compliance of emergency exits with safety standards, repeated failures of brake tests, etc.   The company’s competitive pricing strategy enabled it to actively pursue rail contracts in the US. For instance, in the SEPTA tender, CRRC Corporation Ltd.’s bid was USD 34 mln less than that of its competitor, Canadian Bombardier Transportation, which is now part of Alstom. However, in 2020, the US Congress passed a law that prohibits government purchases of rolling stock from the Chinese manufacturer, citing cybersecurity concerns (for further details, please see https://lnkd.in/gTbF79xw).   Another US operator, the MBTA, has decided to continue honouring a large-scale contract with CRRC for 404 metro cars signed in 2014. The rolling stock is being delivered, however the pace of shipments from the Springfield plant is also significantly behind schedule, and the MBTA has regular concerns regarding the quality of trains. In a recent development, the MBTA and CRRC have entered into a supplemental agreement to accelerate the fulfilment of the contract. The operator believes that a change in supplier would further delay the delivery (see https://lnkd.in/ePJRGvGi for details).   Image: SEPTA #rollingstock #rail #railway

There's a big difference between merely releasing products and ensuring their long-term success in the market. Jim Perdue, James Dorn and John Gunderson discuss the critical factors influencing the success of new product launches in the industrial sector. Key Takeaways: - Manufacturers must shift from a checklist mentality to a focus on post-launch success, ensuring ongoing support and adoption. - Proper resource allocation and planning are crucial for effectively communicating the value of new products to end customers through distributor channels. - Assessing launch maturity, establishing adoption teams, and aligning with distributors' solution-selling approach are vital for successful product launches. #ProductLaunch #IndustrialInnovation #DistributionStrategy #MarketAdoption #ManufacturingSuccess

Much has been made about the generational supply being added across the sunbelt, but demand has remained strong. New deliveries are still outpacing household formation and fundamentals remain soft, but early indications of continued demand are appearing in sunbelt markets large and small. Greenville, SC, Wilmington, NC and Huntsville, AL have posted strong and steady demand fundamentals in recent weeks as the small sunbelt markets continue to attract in-migration from across the country. Large markets like Charlotte, Nashville and Raleigh are showing some signs of stability as they fight the continued challenge of short-term oversupply. 🖥️ Blog post: https://lnkd.in/dtJBTNUC 🎙️ Listen on Spotify: https://lnkd.in/dPpxGPQD 🎧 Listen on Apple: https://lnkd.in/dyJQvESR #RadixInsights #RealEstateData #MultifamilyMarket #Radix #TheTruthInData
