of our market So able share, in from say by it's been European pricing to to understand But easy get I to especially customers a much bit that the but standpoint, that we've thing rather little to being meet our difficult focus needs think increase market gained have price than market space not having salesmen really just and those increases. it's that supply have it's through. a issue publicized so price on why a It's a these in always highly so we're our inventory.

Daniel Moore

helpful. pricing And continue you to actual inventory of need procure, mentioned stage, the feel versus that you about to so strategically quantity? to does in I terms ability volumes, this don't just your much inventories levels, build but commentary your remarks, comfortable how It’s any this And at increased think reflect prepared in you do pretty there?

Brian Magstadt

Dan. increase majority related the Hey, inventory. is price on of the The

Karen Colonias

needs, Right we that job see. little still but our a would an rates, the as meet right balancing has out, a is I Ensuring purchasing from steel fill the making sure would bit able got it's steel too it maybe to steel but about having have continue but it's our slowed bit. done pointed I say steel to we've can that much say steel we not now, group have see if increasing that excellent we decrease you hasn't we little -- price slowed be again, has those that any industry of down now. act customer come then we pricing

Kurt Yinger

about kind Just increase to QX. the strong starting of after think back prior the operating in off, range we the outlook, the when margin

of of increase. price expectations, like benefited the volume at were four biggest your you to pretty relative and what quarter curious, it least challenging hadn't yet the kind in terms Just the in upside the because sounds surprises was from performance

curious, just what than So better expected was there?

Brian Magstadt

and a it Yes. what then, start then, of year, is think bit through also through that. the the little would the Part expenses of saw of increase associated in balance the projects strength the price the have the may timing more balance of And margin. trajectory relative year. European we use of the continue the inventory, to of And

give our end. three And and six high So into end the bit months mark, year, months insight an yes, back margin -- under end more estimates, at in left with the operating belt. month that just we a obviously, that up little only high to low some bringing were additional making of there three us

Kurt Yinger

Got it.

premium kind Okay. than And does position where has competitive that And your more value perhaps the it's in then, into seem price time of currently, been pricing a had historically, so inputs meaningfully? past? at factor rising relative it and with consistent a would so to Is even the around Is when peers, your where there process Simpson you've is are decision-making that today? how been historically? price positioning proposition

Karen Colonias

you And product. mentioned for of a that key point Kurt, to I the provide the think, us. services we From standpoint our

time that's as premium. customer talked all we on don't outside want SKU ourselves. and about, on engineering service we as mix, about, the sell our we we to inside talked pride Again, that our and team, talked delivery, pricing sales we on well really really we our price, the we're probably have large sell I that vendor that about have say As both want it's as product. I services customers to see where as because what's we you want down this supply availability pricing never didn't differential And would I that the we of is in jobsite the place. customers. mentioned, to those And really chain. available our be tight for appreciated to think key of today, in still as well been product shuts times a We

Kurt Yinger

sense. Makes Right.

hear in for curious for just remarks. prepared years. guys, Okay. at a from But sourcing whether last overseas you least one been just the me. I last it the in And challenge didn't few then I'm has

priority? of capabilities been you a production build would interest, M&A out that's that's that you think still organically? something to I America, everything fasteners have or on, North is where that going maybe is something look can given been And something

Karen Colonias

question. Yes. great It's a

to fastest have has other the four offshore, years. last time months a growing buy we typical been three get business is in been six and product. fasteners, Taiwan. XX% for A lead facility year probably a to to before mentioned, over at our manufacture this of would domestically We basically, of As one maybe XX% about Simpson the we've three our our fastener

on running And Taiwan. of difficult We XX months time products also certainly now XX it when out having are about hand. very lead think those to on we that forecasting inventory makes about that and

and as about of either product. very little capabilities less we're more of talked the out trying to a control organically, in we on that acquisition past, or of dependent So product through buying manufacturing in our grow interested that

our it's certainly, radar looking that we're So on for. something and constantly

Kurt Yinger

would Or it at of I need that greenfield space kind where, be to something a guess, -- location? the do were it facility? And would if you extra you existing to organically, have be do

Brian Magstadt

Well, a locally within an local had Kurt, that manufacturing that of factory, last -- that U.S. for in stood lot have up the the of existing over number we manufacturing additional Karen here that. mentioned, years, the the

move those a we in-house. lean things bring been around that we've do lot where that the to may to we're we're and utilize space, also need best to the it that footprint some and perspective, an into A getting doing from may to able As of things in. that facility can. that point advantage we we But of add to that locations take we production inflection try hit

that to quick build of So -- you've about up the we significantly like of would but customer some continue to respond we been facility. needs. talk local investments production us local able to amount be in this always need heard we production will to to And we has grow if make the
