Welcome! PLEASE NOTE THAT WE WILL HAVE A NEW PRICING STRUCTURE PUBLISHED BY JUNE 15, 2007. We are pleased to offer you a categorical listing of American Optics optical and mechanical products for Endoscopy. We are continuously updating our site to include new optics and value-added products so add us to your Favourites and visit again soon.
American Optics Inc. had kept its pricing structure stable for over three (3) years however it was necessary to re-calculate costs taking into account:
1. Unfavorable Foreign Exchange Rate fluctuations and trends in the EURO, USD and CAD currencies (10%+);
2. Rising costs in material and labor (5%+);
The good news is that American Optics Inc. was able mitigate against these costs through:
-
Purchase-consolidation;
-
Price negotiation through long-term European-supplier commitments;
-
Absorbing some of these costs itself, as it had in the past
Therefore our price increases are moderate: on average, "fast-moving" parts experienced a price increase of less than 1% and our "slow-moving" parts experienced a price increase of less than 7%.
Some items did fall out of this range including the many items that did not experience a price increase whatsoever.
