CAP Fixtures Eases Customer Anxiety with a Patient Approach and Alternative Options.
As global trade-war headlines continue spreading jitters, uncertainty, and confusion among investors, consumers, and business leaders – one Ohio-based manufacturer maintains a steady course, while strengthening its contingency measures. Naturally, as a global provider of retail fixtures and hospitality furnishings, CAP Fixtures had its own immediate concerns with the simple mention of trade tariffs— particularly relating to steel and aluminum imports. CAP has responded to their customers’ initial trepidation regarding potential cost increases and supply-chain interruption with transparency and a sensible course of action. Friendly and open customer-communication channels have always been a source of comfort for CAP clientele. The management team at CAP views this latest economic hurdle as simply another business “bump in the road” that can be solved with patience and resourceful preparation. CAP fully understands the challenges ahead, and as the Company’s President, Jason Prosnik, succinctly stated…”We’re on it”!
The remarkable success of CAP Fixtures over the years has been predicated on its melded product offering— relying on production facilities in China, and product fabrication here in the states. CAP’s long-term association with its dedicated teams in China, as well as Korea and Taiwan, has provided consistent, and unsurpassed, turnkey quality and service to retail clientele around the world. That relationship will sustain and hopefully flourish. But, as Mr. Prosnik contends, “The world is a volatile place, particularly in terms of economic stability. Long ago we realized that for our own protection we must actively pursue viable business partnerships throughout the Far East in places like Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. Our relationship with our Chinese production partners is on solid ground, but by no means is CAP Fixtures solely dependent on China”.
Who knows what the coming months and years will bring in terms of this potential trade-war and the potential economic strife that any kind of tariff conversation with China might preempt? At this juncture, trade restrictions have merely been threatened and there is still hope that, through diplomacy, a full-scale trade war can be averted. Global corporations are maintaining an optimistic tone, while continuing to formulate contingency strategies. CAP Fixtures is confidently doing the same— to protect its business, as well as its customers’ interests. “Stay tuned,” Jason Prosnik suggests, “as the economic, and political, situation continues to unfold”.
