Pricing

Dear Freelin-Wade Customer:

For our more than 30 years in business, Freelin-Wade has been committed to building partnerships with our customers and working with you to become your most trusted tubing supplier.  We need our partners to be successful, prosperous and remain competitive in their respective markets.  This relationship and our daily desire to continuously improve our processes have allowed us to absorb the many increases we have experienced in resins, energy, labor and healthcare. 

You may recall the last time we instituted a price increase for our tubing products was in February 2009.  In the rare instances when we must pass along an increase, it comes with a great deal of thought and reluctance.  Still though, today we are announcing a price increase that will take effect on January 1, 2011.  This increase will be implemented a bit differently than in the past. Rather than applying a flat rate increase on everything, we have gone product-by-product to reduce the impact.  Please note the breakdown below.  Pricing on our Flexcoil, Flexeel, tube cutters and accessories will remain the same.
