August 2022 Lead Time Update

August 9, 2022 | By Jeff Swan | Topics: Lead Times, Litho Pails, Plain Pails

Our Lead Times Have *Significantly* Decreased!

 

Lead times at all four Cleveland Steel Container steel pail plants are HALF what they were at the start of 2022!

We are nearing the end of our extended lead times and heading back to our standard 3 to 4 week lead times we’ve become known for. Right now, all of our pail plants are below 10 weeks for pails, a first since Q1 2021.

Ultimately, the hope is to be back to standard lead times by Q1 2023. This is when raw material constraints and labor issues should vastly improve.
