We’ve been talking a lot about supply chain strains on the podcast, but we haven't done much talking about how they affect specific goods or products. On this episode we change that, as we talk about bathtubs and other plumbing products. We speak with Trey Northrup of LIXIL, a major player in the space, about how rising raw materials prices and shipping logjams are impacting the business. Transcripts have been lightly edited for clarity.
