ST. PAUL, MINN.—As of Feb. 1, Artistic Finishes, began shipping orders on or before five business days on 95% of its molding SKUs. This is the company’s third lead-time reduction in the past year.

“This move is a huge step toward our goal of producing prefinished moldings on demand when a customer order is received,” said Randy Hambright, director of sales.

The five-day lead time applies to all molding profiles, wood species and finishes, including handscraped and wire brushed. Exceptions include moldings that require multi-step distressing and bleaching, which have a 10-day lead.
