Freightcar America Inc's Comment on Supply Chain
The cost of raw materials and components represents a substantial majority
of the manufacturing costs of most of our railcar product lines. As a result,
the management of raw materials and components purchasing is critical to our
profitability. We enjoy generally strong relationships with our suppliers, which
helps to ensure access to supplies when railcar demand is high.
Our primary aluminum suppliers are Sapa Extrusions and Constellium N.V. (formerly
Alcan Inc.). Aluminum prices generally are fixed at the time a railcar order
is accepted, mitigating the effect of future fluctuations in prices. Our primary
stainless steel supplier is Crompion International, L.L.C.
Our primary component suppliers include Amsted Industries, Inc., which supplies
us with truck components, brake components, couplers and bearings, and Summit
Railroad Products, Inc., which supplies us with axles and wheels. Roll Form
Group, a division of Samuel, Son & Co., Limited, is the sole supplier of
our roll-formed center sills, which were used in 88% of our new railcars produced.
A center sill is the primary structural component of a railcar. We entered into
an agreement with International Truck and Engine Investments Corporation, an
affiliate of Navistar, Inc., pursuant to which it has contracted to supply us
with various fabricated parts, components and subassemblies as well as providing
truck and wheel and axle assembly services and blast and paint finishing services.
Other suppliers provide brake systems, castings, bearings, fabrications and
various other components. The railcar industry is subject to supply constraints
for some of the key railcar components.
