New Pricing
Effective June 2007
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.
