NAMZ - 'Across the Board' Price-Cut as Raw Material Costs Start to Abate
Jeff Zielinski, of Oreland, Pennsylvania based NAMZ Custom Cycle Products fame (NCCP), has always been a highly respected operator - let's face it, you have to be, if you're going to manage to build your business consistently for 25 years.
A prolific new product developer ("the ideas man"), NAMZ continues to add to its product range regularly - indeed there are two late model touring harnesses featured in the Pro-Guide section of this month's AMD.
The past five years have not been easy for anybody, with supply chain inflation and other issues driving up prices and causing shortages and delays - to say nothing of Covid, multiple wars and Asian manufacturing putting price-points and product design issues under pressure like never before.
Kudos then to Jeff for a recent announcement - a rare one in our experience - announcing an across the board 5% price reduction for all NAMZ and Badlands products, and 10% for Lectric Lighting Co. products, now that the supply chain inflation that affected his specific manufacturing activities has abated somewhat.
Addressing his dealers, Jeff states that "in today's world of uncertainty, inflation and sky-high prices, we want you to know that we feel your pain.
"Over the last few years, NAMZ was forced to raise prices on all of our products due to rising raw material costs. Covid didn't help matters, but we knew that like all good things, bad things can come to an end as well.
"Being an 'American Made' company that takes a ton of pride in its work, we wanted to give back to our customers for staying loyal and continuing to support our 'American Made' products and lighting. We still live in a world of uncertainty, corrupt politicians and high prices, but our costs have come down, and we would like to pass that on to our dealers.
"With that, we are happy to reduce our pricing across the board on all NAMZ, Badlands and Letric Lighting Co. products. New lower pricing for all of our brands went into effect on October 1st, 2024, throughout our systems here, our distribution channel and our website."
If any other vendors have announcements like that they can make, we'd be delighted to pass the news on to AMD's international readership.
