Production times have remained unchanged, with an average production time of 50.3 days across all our product lines. Notably, the Premlene Engineered Structures line reduced its production time by 5 days, while the National Silicone Foam lines extended theirs by 5 days. All other product lines remained the same.
Despite the challenges faced, it’s encouraging to note that China’s factory activity expanded for the first time in six months in September, as reported by Reuters. This signifies a positive shift and signs of stabilization in the Chinese economy. While our production numbers have remained stable leading into October, this news suggests a potentially brighter outlook for reduced manufacturing times going forward.
