#SurfaceFinishers - how are you addressing rising gold prices & its affect on your customers? Gold (Au) is up 20% since the start of 2024 with no evidence of imminent decline in sight. In fact Au spot pricing has hit an all time high. The demand for Au plating remains constant being used in everything from circuit boards to heatsinks to medical devices, but the customers need to keep supply chain costs down is more critical to component production than ever. Constant flow downs are not practical at these rising prices & growing resource limitations prevent effective improvements to competitively win new business. In many cases the final product costing may not even reflect the actual gold value used. Technology and innovation are proactive long term solutions to cost controls, but managing this unprecedented rise in pricing requires an immediate outlook. Have a conversation with the MXHE team to support your resources in eliminating waste, continual improvement, managing variable costs, improving over/under estimating (precious metals), expanding your recovery streams & more.

If the past few years have taught us anything, it's that global supply chains can be brittle, especially during big disruptions. It's also taught us the value of personal connections between vendors and their customers. Business relationships are more than simply an exchanging goods or services – they are steadfast partnerships where mutual success is at the forefront. For those reasons, choosing a local/regional supplier (when you can) for essentials like metalworking fluids can have a huge positive impact on your business, saving you time and money. A local/regional supplier can give you dedicated, personalized service -- you're not just a customer number or another faceless online order but a part of their business community. Building that relationship has benefits, such as ensuring that the supplier has stock on hand of the products you regularly use. Working with a local/regional supplier also ensures faster delivery, as the product doesn't have to travel as far and probably isn't getting stuck on a container ship in a far-away port city. If you're looking for a local/regional supplier for your metalworking fluid needs, look no further than Impact Fluids. We're located in Grandville, Michigan, and serve customers throughout Michigan's lower peninsula and the surrounding Great Lakes region. Want to try our fluids yourself before committing to us as your primary supplier? We completely understand – that’s why we’re happy to offer a FREE TRIAL of a fluid of your choice.
