Repeat customers are now the ones asking for more capacity: management describes buyers it has already served pressing f
The model's full reasoning — Q1 2016 call → NOWe need to answer YES or NO based on the transcript. The question asks: does management describe that buyers who have already bought from the company and seen the result are now asking for more than the company can currently supply, and is management working to enlarge the company in response? We need to find evidence in the transcript. Look for statements about existing customers, demand exceeding supply, and capacity expansion. In the transcript, Ilene Gordon mentions: "we are pleased that our investment in Indianapolis to enhance our specialty capacity is progressing well and is running startup trials as we speak." That is about capacity expansion. But does it mention that existing customers are asking for more than can be supplied? There is no explicit statement about customers asking for more than supply. There is talk about specialty growth, but not about a shortfall. Also, there is mention of "we have the capability to add capacity for these finishing channels to be able to have the capability to satisfy these consumer trends that are growing." But that is about capability, not about existing customers demanding more. The question requires all three: (1) pressure from proven, repeat counterparties, (2) ask exceeds current supply, (3) company enlarging itself now. The transcript does not clearly state that existing customers are asking for more than the company can supply. There is no mention of customers being told to wait, partial fulfillment, etc. The discussion is about growth in specialty, but not about a shortfall. The only mention of capacity is the Indianapolis project, but it is not tied to existing customers' demands exceeding supply. Also, the company is not describing a situation where they cannot meet demand. So answer NO. Thus, the answer is NO.
