Uetz Comments on Growing Scarcity of Rubber

Partner Ann Marie Uetz was quoted in a BNN Bloomberg article, “Rubber Scarcity Creates New Headache for Beleaguered Automakers,” about how automakers, already struggling with pandemic-induced plant shutdowns and a global chip shortage, are now confronting a dwindling supply of rubber.

“It’s definitely tightening up,” Uetz, vice chair of the firm’s national Litigation Department, said of global rubber supplies. “It’s nowhere near the level of the chip shortage from our perspective so far, but it’s definitely brewing,” she added.

Uetz was also quoted in Collision Repair, Automotive News, The Detroit News, MSN News, Transport Topics, Seattle Times, Supply Chain Brain, American Journal of Transportation, and Boston Globe.
