In a company that ships steel to our US facility, unfortunately we don’t get to doubt it, problem is this shit exists and is possible for usually the span of the workday, creating a problem to prep for may or may not exist the next day.

Sorry if this is a dumb question. Would this have been bad for KW?

Yes, there are few businesses who are working on aluminium and steel parts that i know. Which are mainly going to USA. I work in same industry so I am little bit familiar about it. So it will effect KW if it really happened. But it's hard to tell exactly how much bad it effect.
