We keep a large number of our standard sizes up to two or three thousand gallons on our two sites, ready to be painted and shipped, which takes that lead time down from eight weeks to two.” “We’re not planning on slowing down,” says Kohnke in conclusion. “We’re going to continue to make sure we’re servicing our customers well. We don’t want to give them a reason to go somewhere else. If we provide a quality product, and if we can make sure our pricing is competitive, and continue to have some of the shortest lead times in the industry, we’re excited about what this business can be.”
