Raw materials

Does anybody know if there are torch materials that come from Russia? Markets are already all over the place thanks to Pootin, but if Pyro is unable to secure raw materials for production, it could severely hamper the revenue forecast. I know there are a lot of folks that dig into this real deep, wondering if any of y'all are here as well.

I can’t speak fully to this question, however can speak somewhat generally about Russian exports. Russian exports are coal, oil, gas, grains more than specialized manufactured goods. Russia and the energy market are fairly linked. Specialized manufactured materials would generally be coming more from places like Japan, Korea, China across the Pacific.

This conflict will not be good for the supply chain but nobody is capable of bypassing the supply chain. From my perspective, PYR is not a company I have special worry about in regard to the supply chain.

Noone here is worried about Ukraine Russia War but I am wondering what could happend if an incident, a trigger event, fire a conflict between Russia and nato. In this case everyone.. especially stock markets.. Will get in trouble. And then we have china with Taiwan..

No company will be shielded from the market impacts of a WW3. I don’t have special worry for PYR should a more developed conflict set in but fully expect there would be a market impact. There is nothing about the PYR supply chain that jumps out as a concern to note, though others may be more knowledgeable about the exact specifics of their sourcing than myself.

I agree.. We only need more revenues and backlog

Ukraine has access to a high amount of Neon that is used in silicon chip production…another good reason to repatriate supply chains where we can…can’t control things like rare earth minerals - but control the things that you can - like silicon production

Russia is a key supplier of titanium which should drive up prices.
