November 2022 Production Times

Premlene Production

November 2022 Production Times

Our average expected production times across all product lines decreased again heading into November to 63 days, decreasing by 2.5 days from October. The largest contributors to the decrease were our Premlene sheet rubber and National Silicone solid product lines which are both down 10 days from the previous month. All other production times for our branded product lines remain unchanged from October. 

As we move into the last 2 months of the year, economists are projecting a somber outlook for world trade, led by slumping sentiment from factories. Beijing’s Covid Zero policy and the questions surrounding the return to normal factory operations remain a headwind. That dynamic was evident in fresh data that showed China’s exports and imports both unexpectedly fell for the first time in more than two years. The weak export growth likely reflects both the slowing external demand as well as the supply disruptions due to recent Covid outbreaks. 

 

November Production Times

Our November 2022 production times measure the change in days an average order will take to produce from the time it is submitted (all facilities). This includes the time it takes to book a container. However, it excludes ocean shipping and other transit times.
