Okay Janice, since you can't find this info and we have to look it up for you, i worked with A/C Delco for 4 years and the gross margin,
"if you know what that is" runs between 30% and 50% depending on the amount of copper that is bought and how long the contracts last at that price.

Most companies try to keep their butts covered by purchasing copper futures as a way to hedge against any price increases.

manufacture-30%-50% gross margin

distributor-20%-25%

retail-40%-50%

Now, if we sell our product direct, which I'm sure we do, you can add an extra 10%-15% to the margin, since we cut out the middle guy.

any other questions.
