AmeriMark has assured that all the affiliated companies will fulfil the pending orders that were shipped before the beginning of bankruptcy cases.

In the case of orders that were not shipped before the bankruptcy filings, the customers will be exempted from being charged.

AmeriMark has attributed bankruptcies of its businesses to a broad range of issues, including rising interest rates, “unanticipated” catalogue printing delays, fluctuations in inventory’s availability via the supply chain and other inflationary pressures.

The company said the latest decision was also a result of “deficiencies” caused by major vendors after ownership change in those companies (a current subject of litigation).

Another major reason for the bankruptcies is the extreme change in demand due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

As AmeriMark pursues the sale process, the companies have now ceased the sale of their products. The sale process is expected to be completed over the coming months.
