Gibraltar Industries Inc's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers
We compete with competitors based on the range of products offered, quality, price, and delivery, as well as, serving as a full service provider for project management in certain segments. Although some of our competitors are large companies, the majority are small to medium-sized and do not offer the large range of building products that we offer.
The prices paid for raw materials used in our operations, primarily steel, aluminum,
and resins, are volatile due to a number of factors beyond our control, including
but not limited to demand, supply shortages, general industry and economic conditions,
labor costs, import duties, tariffs, and currency exchange rates. Although we
have strategies to help mitigate the volatility in raw material costs, such
as reducing inventory levels, our competitors who choose not to maintain inventories
as large as ours may be better able to mitigate the effects of this volatility
and, thereby, compete effectively against us on product price.
We believe our broad range of products, high quality, and sustained ability
to meet exacting customer delivery requirements gives us a competitive advantage
over many of our competitors.
