Recently, there were comments about lack of availability of MDF around
the US.
Talked to my customer today and they are only operating 5 days/week
rather than the normal 24/7.
Competitors have shut down a plant in the US and another in Canada.
The weak US$ is keeping off shore suppliers out of the US market.
My customer's comment, "If anybody needs MDF, let me know so that I
can let sales dept know."
Looks like things are slowing down big time, unless of course you
depend on the "oil patch" which at $100/bbl is going strong, at least
for now.
