Supply disruptions are leading the conversation this month with raw material tightness and price increase letters industry wide. A flow of FM letters over the past two weeks has had many users of all sizes scrambling to secure supply as we head into Q2. Coupled with ongoing ocean freight delays and concerns, securing raw material supply will be paramount as spring approaches.
