The High Cost Of PYREX
Forum List | Follow Ups | Post Message | Back to Thread Topics Posted by Rick Crockett on May 5, 2000 18:34:55 UTC |
Anyone notice the extreme inflation in the cost of pyrex. I was just given a price for a 40" x 2.25"T from Newport that is 4x higher than five years ago. They want nearly $3300 for the same specs that was going to cost about $850 five years back. While some of the problem is price gouging by Newport a lot has to do with Corning and a fellow named Christopher Estep. It seems he has been showing Corning how good an industrial sales manager he is and has been raising prices consistantly and unwarranted over that period of time. I also understand that the same glass is being shipped over seas and sold at one fourth to one third of what it costs us (different sales manager). I have about decided to quit doing business with under 30 managers as they seem to have no morals or ethics. Any ideas of how we can get Chris fired and the prices back down?
