Marion Janitorial Supply Co.Chemical manufacturers are experiencing raw material shortages in addition to a huge surge in demand for product. All this equates to longer wait times for products.
Below is an excerpt from an article published in Chemical & Egineering News:
A little perspective from one of my suppliers:
I want to give you an example of what these manufacturers have on their plates. Clorox has their Total 360 disinfectant machine which uses their proprietary disinfectant. In March Clorox received orders for 70,000 cases of disinfectant. Their normal monthly demand over the last 3 years has been 800 cases. How long do you think it’s going to take them to catch up? I have heard many other similar examples with other pandemic product manufacturers. End users need to understand that the supply chain is so behind it will take months to recover. And we cannot provide ETA’s.
