Default OT: How’s business?

I run a manufacturing company and while the year started off well, April and May look pretty quiet. Just curious…how’s business for you?

Residential and commercial construction. It's starting to slow and I have had jobs get cancelled last 12 months for variety of reasons. Some clients want all the bells and whistles...it ain't cheap in this market.
That being said, we are mostly self funded and we love doing our spec projects, so we have used the opportunity to scoop up a few properties and projects where others have cold feet. No risk no reward.

Good luck to everyone.

Q1 always slow in my industry (downstream oil industry) and budgeted accordingly - so far top line and volumes up ~5.5% YoY

Spring looks promising and pent up demand from second half of last year should make for a very strong Q2 and Q3 in base oil, finished lube, RFO etc

We've just started producing Grp III base oil in volume at one of our re-refineries which is very exciting as the price diff to Grp II+ per gallon is significant and margins far superior.

Our incinerators and PFAS waste solutions are sold out capacity wise for almost the next year.

Great time to be in the recycling industry and 3X larger than your closest competitor. 😎
