Andrew Expands Cable Products Surcharge Program As Copper Prices Soar.

WESTCHESTER, Ill. -- Andrew Corporation, a global leader in communications systems and products, is implementing additional pricing actions to counteract the ongoing, dramatic increase in the costs of raw materials, especially copper, used in manufacturing its market-leading cable products. E[acute accent]Effective May 1, Andrew will increase the previously implemented surcharge assessed on its HELIAX(R) and RADIAX(R) products. In addition, the company on June 1 will expand the use of surcharges to include all cable products, such as connectors, assemblies, and accessories, which utilize these raw materials. These surcharges will be adjusted periodically as the market rate of copper fluctuates. E[acute accent]"As copper costs soar, we are taking aggressive steps in pricing and product development to ensure our continued commitment to cost-effectively providing the world's highest quality and performance in cable products," said John DeSana, group president, Antenna and Cable Products Group, Andrew Corporation. E[acute accent]Andrew also is continuing its research and testing of alternative materials in the manufacture of cable products. "The use of materials other than copper represents a major technology change in the application of wireless radio frequency (RF) cable, and Andrew's team of experts are leading the effort to ensure that alternative metals can provide RF performance that is of the same world-class quality and reliability that our customers have come to expect from us," said DeSana. E[acute accent]Additional detail on the cable surcharge is available from Andrew's sales representatives, distributors, and www.andrew.com/search/docviewer.aspx?docid=7488.
