I don't think they need to explain the price increase either.
There are quite a good number of explanations suggested already, like:
- Material Cost Increases
- Exchange rate changes between US and Poland
- Shipping Cost increases (due to rise in fuel costs)
- Giving their employees raises
- They have held off on a price increase for a number of years.
Keep in mind that they are not a big manufacturer with a bunch of assembly line workers. All of their billet aluminum pieces need to be designed by engineer type employees. I for one certainly hope that part of their price increase allows for hiring to do more design work and getting more cool CNC tools. That way we may see more cool toys come out of the skunk works.
