Be on the lookout for buying opportunities on a wide range of industrial products

By Staff -- Purchasing, 4/9/1998

Be on the lookout for buying opportunities on a wide range of industrial products advises Elizabeth Baatz, editor of Ice Alert. In many cases, she notes, industries are experiencing inflation/deflation windfalls, where prices have held up relatively well while their actual manufacturing costs have dropped. Some of the best buying opportunities are in these areas: lubricating oils and greases; rolled or drawn copper products; carbon black; gum and wood chemicals; copper valves and pipe fittings; wood pallets and skids; aluminum sheet, plate, and foil; adhesives and sealants; crowns and closures. Ice Alert is a monthly report on emerging inflation trends published by Thinking Cap Solutions (price:$495 for 15 months). For more info: phone (617) 298-6147 or fax (617) 296-1614.
