Can IPC react to short-term changes in the demand for its products?
The capital-intensive nature of our business, coupled with the labor shortage faced by all businesses makes it difficult to significantly increase our capacity for a short period of time. The seasonality often experienced in construction may cause lead-times to grow during the heaviest construction months. We do undertake weekend work to meet our committed schedules. Also, IPC will continue to expand its facilities in an attempt to meet the long-term demands of the construction market.
