Material Lead Times & Delays

The global supply chain continues to endure raw material shortages, manufacturing slowdowns and recovery, and labor challenges. Extended material lead times and availability are challenging our industry and company. To provide our customers with a better understanding of the process, we have published DLC's general project timelines. We are monitoring market intelligence which indicates these challenges will continue for another 18 to 24 months. Our procurement team is working diligently with all our suppliers to acquire equipment and materials as quickly as possible. DLC recommends that you factor the possibility of supplier delays into your project timeline. In the meantime, we are grateful for your partnership and your patience as we work through these challenges together.
