BELLINGHAM, Wash. -- Supply chain issues are a concern across myriad industries, and at least one distributor of industrial woodworking equipment is encouraging its customers to place orders as soon as possible to ensure their orders are “not tied up in an unpredictable year-end log jam.” 

In a message to its customers, Robert McCoy, company president of Grizzly Industrial, alerted the customers that the “same issues that might prevent you from getting that new toy for a grandchild or desired gift for your spouse this holiday have also created challenges for Grizzly Industrial.”

The company, which has embarked on its annual Holiday Sale, have worked hard to line up a steady supply of machines and accessories to meet the end of the year demand “and we have taken extreme measures to get our goods out of the ports and into our warehouses.”

“As you can imagine,” said McCoy, “each load of new equipment flows out the door as fast as we can unload the merchandise from the delivery trucks.”

McCoy especially encouraged companies who want to take advantage of Section 179 tax savings option should place orders before the holiday rush to give them the “best possible opportunity for those items to be available under the tree on the 25 or in your shop before the December 31, 2021, deadline.
