I need to find detailed market data for garment plastics of any kind
-- the more, the better.  If nothing else, I need information on the
cheap plastic hangers you find in Walmart (~$1 for a set of 13).

The specific data I'm seeking includes:  (1) sales (both units and
total dollars) per year, month, day, etc, for as far back as can be
found, with recent data preferred;  (2) margins (net, fixed, variable,
etc) for both manufacturers and retailers;  and (3) turnover rates vs
other consumer nondurable goods, so I can gauge how quickly they move
off the shelf.

If you can provide me with the resources for finding this information
(or second best, provide me with the information itself) I will be
much obliged!

Thanks for your time.

This company does carry plastic hangers. But there over all buisness
is plastics in many different home areas. I am trying to find more
information about the specific hanger sales as this seems to be one of
the leading hanger manafactures.

The Company's product lines include storage containers, laundry and
ironing products, bath and shower organizers, hooks, hangers, home and
closet organizers, and food storage containers.

Closet Storage Products. Net sales in this product category of $25.1
million in 2000 experienced a $1.2 million increase, or 5.1% as
compared to 1999. The increase was primarily due to increased plastic
hanger sales.

That is a great start, thank you.  Specific margins and price points
are what I need.  Perhaps there is a trade association (with its SIC
standard industrial classification code) that has more specific
information.

Im not finding the specific information you are wanting. I did find a
link to a report that costs, but I am not sure if it will detail the
information you want. As they give no examples. It does seem that
Tamor is the company that you would want as thet are a rather huge
supplier. I am going ahead and posting this information in hopes that
if I can not return a response with your needed information that htis
may help someone else with this.
