Dear SCP Customer:

 

On March 20 we sent out the following bulletin about the necessity to increase prices on some items due to increased cost of materials in the world market and the lower exchange rate for the U.S. dollar. These price increases have now been implemented and amount to about  a 4% increase . We also took this opportunity to reduce some prices where we have paid tooling or were able to obtain better prices because of quantity discounts as the result of much higher sales volume.

 

Because we are not increasing all prices, we will publish a bulletin to the first page of our web site showing exactly which parts have increased in price.

 

Sincerely,

 

Myron McGuirt

 

 

 

 

PRICE BULLETIN

 

 

 

During the past few months we have been absorbing many price increases from our manufacturers for quite a few of our parts and we greatly regret that it will result in increases to our customers for some products. Some increases were minor and will not result in higher cost for you.

 

The highest price increase will be for our popular replacements for the 15HP  6D motors. Three factors caused prices to go up for these parts, increases in cost for copper, steel and the U.S. dollar losing value in the international market. Our prices will increase approximately $30 to $40. Exact increase has not as yet been determined but once we know, the increased price will be reflected on our web site at www.servicecompressorparts.com.

 

This is not a general, across the board, price increase for all of our parts. At the present time some pistons will be slightly increased due to escalating prices for aluminum, but we have had no increases from our connecting rod manufacturer. With iron costs increasing there will be some increases on valve plates and other ductile iron products.

 

With the excellent reception our parts have received in our market, we often are able to secure better prices from our manufacturers as you will soon see for crankshafts for most of the 5F and 5H crankshafts. Prices for the most popular models will decrease 20% to 35%. You should see these decreases around mid June. Our policy in the past has been to reduce prices when we have amortized our tooling costs for new products and this policy will remain in effect.

 

Please refer to our web site for any changes in prices as all prices increase will not be made at one time as we will phase in the new prices as we deplete our existing inventory we purchased at the lower prices.  

 

Sincerely,

Myron McGuirt
