The average production time for all of our product lines has gone up by 4.5 days, leading to an overall average of 60.5 days. The National Silicone solid and GCP Molded Parts lines both saw an increase of 5 days, while GCP Sourced Clamps/Fittings experienced a 10-day increase, and the Rubatex Sponge line saw an increase of 20 days. The production times for all other product lines remained unchanged.
The production times can be impacted by various factors, and in this scenario, the May Day holiday could have influenced a portion of our schedule. May Day is a national holiday in China that lasts for several days, during which many factories and businesses shut down or operate at reduced capacity. This break in production can lead to a backlog of orders and a delay in the overall manufacturing process. Additionally, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there have been supply chain disruptions, shortages of raw materials, and transportation delays, all of which has contributed to longer production times.
GCP Sourced Hose
Regarding our hose line, we have not released a production number due to the temporary unavailability of an accurate production schedule. If you intend to place an order for our hose line, please contact us to find out the appropriate lead times.
May Production Times
Our May 2023 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.
