FULL STEAM AHEAD
According to Kevin Lococo, rental
market national director at Palmer
Snyder, in almost every U.S. state
the Palmer Snyder team has seen a
tremendous increase in demand as
weddings and other festivities are
being held for groups large and small.
" For 2021 year-to-date, our sales are
ahead of any of the past ive seasons, "
Lococo says. " 2021 is shaping up to be
a fantastic year, but we also anticipate a
promising 2022. "
Growth potential aside, how has the
pandemic affected both table and seating
manufacturers and supplies in terms of
production and inventory? Lococo says
the costs for shipping and raw materials
have recently surged signiicantly,
causing Palmer Snyder to reevaluate its
product offerings to keep quality high
and costs low.

" As a result of the surge in demand,
some suppliers have run out of standard
raw materials such as aluminum, resin
and plywood, " Lococo says. " This is
causing us some production delays. "
Mark McCourt, CEO of McCourt
Manufacturing, is not convinced that
the industry is 100 percent back on
schedule, as there are still a lot of
unknowns. That said, McCourt is seeing
a slight increase in business, but not
the typically large run-up the company
would normally see.
" I think our customers, rental stores,
are taking a 'wait and see' approach and
are waiting until the bookings are in
and conirmed and then looking at their
inventory needs at that time, " McCourt
says. " I suspect there will be a lot of lastminute
buying to satisfy the demand.
There is a new sense of optimism
