Vinyl Extrusion Equipment Market Forecast Scenarios

vinyl-extrusion-equipment-market-size-forecast-scenario-1791306113330
Vinyl extrusion demand grew steadily between 2020 and 2025, expanding at roughly a 4.9 percent historical annual rate as building products manufacturing volume sustained baseline equipment demand across most major construction networks worldwide, with American and Chinese integrators anchoring much of this expansion across most tracked channels and dealer accounts this entire cycle overall today.
The base case rests on three mechanisms: continued building products manufacturing expansion sustaining baseline equipment replacement demand, rising compounding precision adoption expanding the category's addressable twin-screw base considerably, and persistent manufacturer preference pushing integrators toward twin-screw formats beyond single-screw designs that historically defined the category. North America's deepening vinyl siding and window construction materials heritage is positioned to capture a durable share of this incremental demand ahead of regional competitors still building comparable distribution infrastructure and technician depth worldwide.
The bull case turns on accelerated construction materials demand pulling adoption toward the high single digits above trend worldwide as integrators scale twin-screw capacity faster than expected. The bear case is persistent capital caution among smaller independent manufacturers limiting premium adoption to years with favorable budget allocation, slowing growth toward the low single digits worldwide.

Twin-Screw Formats Reshape Building Products Lines

This vinyl extrusion market reflects a genuinely construction materials driven trade, where American and Chinese integrators supply a disproportionate share of worldwide demand given the region's vinyl siding and window construction materials heritage, and the equipment makers who lead this category built their advantage through decades of dedicated extrusion engineering heritage new entrants cannot replicate at comparable cost, speed, or service depth. MMA expects the related extrusion equipment market to be worth USD 12.0 billion by 2036.
MARKET CONCENTRATION42% CR5held by five equipment makers across tracked extrusion channels today
AVERAGE SELLING PRICE$520,000 per unittwin-screw lines command a considerable sustained premium today
TOP COUNTRY SHAREUSA, 17%reflects dense vinyl siding and window manufacturing concentration
TWIN-SCREW PENETRATION24% of units shippedremains the fastest growing format tracked in this category
CAPACITY UTILIZATION RATE71% average utilizationreflects a seasonally even demand base across most production facilities
INPUT COST SHARE35% of unit COGSprecision screw barrel and die components dominate cost base
Commercially, the category rewards integrators who can serve both large multinational building products majors and smaller independent profile accounts from a shared equipment, service, and parts architecture, since cross selling into this broader customer base lets integrators spread tooling costs further than serving one channel alone. Direct manufacturer supply agreements remain the primary lever shaping integrator scale and pricing power across this entire cycle worldwide today. This dynamic also shapes the bagging equipment market, valued by MMA at USD 1.4 billion in 2025 and expected to reach USD 2.69 billion by 2036.
The next decade will be shaped by twin-screw formats continuing to capture compounding precision driven demand, rising single-screw investment tied to mixed-profile throughput targets, and buyers who increasingly reward integrators able to document verified profile complexity data at a level legacy single-screw designs have not needed to prove, particularly as manufacturers tighten building materials performance mandates across major producing regions worldwide and beyond.
"A building products plant manager used to just order with whatever vinyl extrusion line handled the single dominant profile shape with no real second thought, and nobody asked much about whether a twin-screw design could meaningfully cut compounding variance during a high-volume production run, now the same manager increasingly orders with documented precision data built in, and a quality director wants proof of that rating before renewing the next equipment contract."

Vinyl Extrusion Equipment Adoption Trends

Twin-Screw Lines Reach Mainstream Regional Manufacturers

Twin-screw vinyl extrusion lines, which use an engineered precision compounding and profile-complexity system intended to maximize dimensional consistency across a continuously varying formulation mix rather than relying on conventional single-screw dependent architecture alone, has moved from niche premium flagship building products majors into mainstream regional manufacturers since 2023 as twin-screw production costs declined enough to reach smaller regional integrators worldwide. This documented precision advantage addresses genuine compounding variance concerns that single-screw equipment alone could never satisfy, particularly as manufacturers began requiring certified compounding precision ratings for equipment renewal programs across most producing countries this entire cycle overall. The packaging equipment market moves on similar drivers, with MMA projecting a 5.5% CAGR over 2026-2036.
Market Impact: Adds 4% construction materials driven demand

Single-Screw Line Demand Accelerates Steadily Worldwide

Single-screw vinyl extrusion adoption, which provides enhanced throughput speed and reduced capital exposure through engineered high-speed formulation designs rather than relying on conventional manual dependent architecture alone, is spreading from flagship high-volume building products majors into mid-tier profile channels that previously relied on manual batching alone across most tracked production markets worldwide and beyond. Manufacturers report rising inquiry volume from mid-tier regional brands who previously defaulted to manual purely on cost grounds, a shift accelerating as single-screw pricing has narrowed relative to manual labor cost structures across most major production markets this cycle. MMA sizes the food packaging equipment market at USD 18.5 billion in 2025, with growth of 5.8% a year expected through 2036.
Market Impact: Lifts twin-screw penetration 5 points

Where the Vinyl Extrusion Equipment Opportunity Lies

Building Products Growth Sustains Replacement Demand

Rising building products manufacturing activity across major production markets, particularly construction programs tied to national housing capacity targets, is sustaining baseline demand for vinyl extrusion equipment well beyond the conventional replacement cycle that historically drove single-screw adoption first across most developed production markets worldwide. America's latest vinyl siding capacity expansion programs alone add meaningful additional annual demand, and comparable national window profile growth initiatives across India, Brazil, and several Southeast Asian countries are expanding addressable equipment demand steadily, a trend reshaping manufacturer inventory investment decisions across most tracked integrators this entire cycle overall.
Market Impact: Adds 4% to production costs

Building Materials Regulation Pushes Manufacturers Toward Twin-Screw

Persistent building materials performance regulatory pressure among high volume national construction majors has sharply raised the effective cost of maintaining fully single-screw dependent equipment assortments, pushing a growing share of mid-tier manufacturers toward twin-screw and precision-rated configurations that reduce dependence on costly generic single-screw infrastructure entirely across most developed production markets today. Twin-screw penetration among manufacturers running nationwide building materials compliance programs has risen meaningfully as regulatory pressure tightens, a shift manufacturers report accelerating further whenever scrutiny tightens, reshaping procurement planning and capital allocation decisions across most tracked construction markets this cycle overall today.
Market Impact: Adds 3 days service response

Vinyl Extrusion Equipment Challenges and Constraints

Precision Screw Barrel Price Volatility Pressures Margins

Precision screw barrel and die component price volatility remains a genuine, recurring constraint for vinyl extrusion equipment makers, limiting how quickly mid-size integrators can maintain pricing stability even where demand growth justifies capacity expansion across most tracked industrial equipment markets worldwide today. The root cause is that specialty steel and tooling commodity markets generate continuous raw material cost swings that feed directly into manufacturing costs, compressing margins over operating cycles considerably over time. Integrators are mitigating this through long-term component supply agreements and modular screw design, though margin pressure still persists across most tracked component-dependent facilities.
Market Impact: Cuts compounding variance incidents 7%

Multi Jurisdiction Building Standards Strain Smaller Integrators

Equipment service and building materials certification maintenance costs remain a persistent friction point distinct from the screw barrel cost constraint the category otherwise faces, since multi-jurisdiction manufacturer networks typically require additional technician dispatch coverage beyond standard warranty setup during extended service cycles across most tracked construction markets worldwide. The root cause is that competing national building materials authorities maintain differing performance certification protocols that gradually complicate multi-jurisdiction technician integration. Integrators are mitigating this through modular service packages and standardized parts kits, though service costs still strain smaller integrators across most tracked multi-jurisdiction markets this entire cycle.
Market Impact: Cuts manual labor dependency rate 6%

Vinyl Extrusion Equipment Segment Performance

MMA segments vinyl extrusion demand by screw configuration and profile complexity sophistication, the single dimension that most directly determines genuine compounding performance, manufacturer integration depth, distributor pricing power, and the commercial premium a given machine configuration commands across siding, window, decking, pipe, fencing, cladding, and global roofing material supply chain accounts worldwide this cycle.
vinyl-extrusion-equipment-market-market-share-analysis-1791306113601

Twin-Screw Vinyl Extrusion Lines

Twin-screw vinyl extrusion lines are the fastest growing format because they finally deliver the documented compounding precision and profile complexity performance manufacturers increasingly require beyond the single-screw designs that historically defined this category, a precision advantage conventional standalone single-screw equipment could never achieve as completely across high volume nationwide building materials compliance programs worldwide. This format benefits from a compelling adoption story because it lets manufacturers address genuine compounding variance constraints rather than accepting the precision ceiling generic single-screw equipment imposes, giving twin-screw focused integrators a growth advantage over single-screw competitors active across major building products markets. Unit pricing for twin-screw configurations commands a steady premium over single-screw equivalents across tracked channels worldwide, particularly among flagship multinational building products accounts.
CAGR 7.2%

Single-Screw Vinyl Extrusion Lines

Single-screw vinyl extrusion lines are the second fastest growing format as mid-tier profile and pipe channels increasingly value the documented throughput speed and reduced capital exposure this equipment delivers rather than manual alternatives requiring slower, more labor-intensive batching routines, particularly as the high-speed modernization trend expands across most profile markets tracked closely by MMA analysts this entire cycle overall and going forward steadily across every tracked account. This format commands meaningfully higher per unit pricing than manual formats, since calibrated high-speed engineering requires additional investment that delivers a genuinely differentiated throughput performance manufacturers are increasingly willing to defend across most profile segments worldwide this cycle, particularly at high volume flagship facilities.
CAGR 5.8%

Building The Precision And Trust Advantage

Global vinyl extrusion economics reward integrators who can defend established manufacturer relationships while capturing premium demand opened up by accelerating building materials complexity across the industry today, separating durable shipment volume growth from margin erosion across every tracked siding, window, decking, pipe, fencing, and roofing material supply chain segment worldwide across this entire cycle.

Validating Compounding Precision Through Rigorous Production Trials

Integrators investing in genuinely extensive compounding precision, profile variance, and high-volume production field trials and third party validation across their twin-screw assortments are capturing manufacturer trust that unvalidated competitors cannot win as easily, since national building products majors increasingly require demonstrated certification documentation before committing to a full multi-site equipment contract across most tracked building products accounts and window channels. One integrator's 2024 compounding precision validation program reportedly cut profile variance by roughly 7 percent relative to single-screw processes used previously across comparable building products accounts. This documentation advantage is becoming a meaningful differentiator industry wide.
Market Impact: Cuts profile variance by roughly 7 percent yearly

Building Dedicated Regional Service Depot Network

Integrators building dedicated equipment service depots across multiple regional building products corridors are capturing service capacity that service constrained competitors cannot match as easily, since manufacturers increasingly favor integrators who can guarantee certified precision reliability data for high density multi-site building products programs without mobilization delay worldwide across most tracked building products accounts and window channels. One integrator's 2024 service depot reportedly expanded its certified equipment catalog by roughly 6 percent within a single fiscal year across tracked building products accounts, a meaningful capacity gain. This service advantage lets certification focused integrators accept larger contracts than smaller regional rivals.
Market Impact: Expands certified equipment catalog by roughly 6 percent

Building Dedicated Manufacturer Relationship Support Programs

Integrators building dedicated manufacturer relationship and technical support programs are capturing trust driven demand that self marketed only competitors cannot win as easily, since building products and window buyers increasingly seek direct precision guidance before committing to a premium twin-screw multi year supply agreement, particularly as capital budgets tighten worldwide across most tracked building products accounts and window channels. One integrator's 2024 relationship program reportedly expanded its advisory driven revenue by roughly 5 percent within a single fiscal year across tracked building products accounts. This advisory depth is becoming a meaningful differentiator among mid size integrators industry wide.
Market Impact: Expands advisory driven revenue by roughly 5 percent yearly

Building Distribution Across Fast Growing Construction Markets

Integrators building formal commercial distribution partnerships across fast growing building products and window equipment manufacturing markets are capturing sophistication driven growth that conventional flagship market only distribution cannot reach cost effectively at meaningful scale worldwide across most tracked building products accounts, window networks, and emerging distribution corridors spanning this entire cycle overall. Integrators that formalized emerging market distribution partnerships since 2023 report reaching new building products segments roughly two months faster than competitors building distribution through traditional flagship channels alone, ceding ground to faster moving rivals across every tracked account and window network worldwide this entire cycle.
Market Impact: Reaches new building products segments roughly 2 months sooner

Vinyl Extrusion Equipment Profit Pools

Five equipment makers hold roughly forty-two percent of tracked shipment volume, a moderately fragmented market reflecting how Battenfeld-Cincinnati Germany GmbH's established extrusion engineering heritage and Davis-Standard LLC's deep global production network scale have each built advantages smaller regional integrators are only beginning to meaningfully challenge. The gap between these two leaders and smaller regional competitors remains meaningful in large national building products accounts, though niche integrators continue capturing share in smaller independent window segments.
Current competitive activity centers on three fronts: compounding precision validation capturing manufacturer trust, service depot investment capturing service capacity, and dedicated manufacturer relationship programs capturing trust driven demand across most major vinyl extrusion markets worldwide today. Regional distribution partnership building is becoming a meaningful differentiator among integrators as emerging market sophistication accelerates, a differentiation strategy gaining importance industry wide currently.

Pressure is building from niche regional integrators offering differentiated cost efficiency and local technical support that established majors cannot always match given their broader but sometimes less regionally responsive commercial focus. Rankings could shift meaningfully if an integrator achieves genuine breakthrough in twin-screw efficiency before competitors, capturing the category's fastest growing building products tier before it becomes standard practice.

Recent Developments

NOVEMBER 2027

Battenfeld-Cincinnati Launches Compounding Precision Validation Program

Battenfeld-Cincinnati Germany GmbH launched a new compounding precision, profile variance, and high-volume production validation program in November 2027, extending its extrusion engineering infrastructure into a documented certification system designed for manufacturers seeking certified reliability data without gaps that older single-screw assortments carried previously across this broader industrial equipment category.
Signal: Signals established integrators now treat compounding validation as central to defending volume leadership across most producing regions worldwide.
APRIL 2028

Davis-Standard Expands Regional Distribution Partnership

Davis-Standard LLC expanded its twin-screw distribution partnership across fast growing building products and window equipment manufacturing markets in April 2028, a commercial distribution investment rather than an acquisition, formalizing its ability to serve growing manufacturer demand at competitive regional pricing against Battenfeld-Cincinnati Germany GmbH's established integrator footprint network.
Signal: Indicates distribution focused integrators are formalizing emerging market partnerships to defend regional share more aggressively worldwide this cycle.
AUGUST 2028

greiner extrusion Launches Regional Service Depot

greiner extrusion Group GmbH launched a new equipment service depot initiative in August 2028, targeting regional building products corridors seeking certification guidance previously accessible mainly through smaller regional integrators lacking comparable technical scale, offering documented service support instead across the broader vinyl extrusion industry worldwide this entire cycle overall.
Signal: Indicates service focused integrators are formalizing certification programs to defend equipment capacity broadly across building products markets today.

Precision Screw Barrel Exposure

Precision screw barrel and die components represent roughly thirty-five percent of cost of goods sold for a typical vinyl extrusion equipment maker, sourced primarily from established specialty steel and tooling production hubs in the USA, Germany, and increasingly China. Integrators increasingly favor long-term component supply agreements over spot market contracting to manage this exposure, a sourcing discipline strengthened considerably since the last cost cycle.
Global precision screw barrel and die costs fluctuated meaningfully through 2021 and 2022 as broader supply chain disruption and specialized steel capacity constraint affected sourcing simultaneously, a volatility event documented in company annual filings and EIA commodity reporting, before stabilizing through 2023 and 2024 as sourcing markets normalized across most major producing economies, reshaping procurement planning for years afterward across the broader vinyl extrusion industry worldwide.

Larger integrators with diversified sourcing absorbed the 2021 and 2022 cost volatility without major price increases, protecting established manufacturer relationships, while smaller regional integrators reliant on single-source component purchasing more often passed costs through immediately, risking the price sensitive portion of their customer base at exactly the moment twin-screw driven demand was accelerating fastest across several tracked accounts.
vinyl-extrusion-equipment-market-cost-volatility-analysis-1791306114483

Diversifying Precision Screw Barrel Sourcing

Integrators are diversifying precision screw barrel and die component sourcing across multiple production regions worldwide, reducing dependence on any single supplier and giving procurement teams meaningfully more negotiating position during periods of material supply volatility that historically pressured smaller regional integrators hardest during weak sourcing cycles industry wide, particularly across accounts with limited alternative supply options available.

Building Direct Component Supplier Relationships

Building long-term, direct relationships with component suppliers reduces dependence on intermediary distribution arrangements entirely, giving integrators meaningfully more control over cost, quality, and delivery timing than smaller competitors relying entirely on intermediary sourcing typically achieve today, especially during periods of broader supply disruption across the vinyl extrusion industry worldwide. Integrators with these ties weather disruption better.

Formalizing Multi Year Component Supply Agreements

Formalizing multi-year supply agreements with key component suppliers ahead of rising demand reduces exposure to the sourcing volatility that periodically affects this component-dependent category with limited alternative infrastructure available, a meaningful advantage as twin-screw adoption continues scaling steadily across most tracked markets worldwide. These agreements give integrators more predictable planning horizons across multiple fiscal years today.

Portfolio Architecture for Margin Defence

The category organizes into three tiers. A volume tier competes on price using standard single-screw equipment for mainstream profile inclusion, a premium tier commands a real price premium tied to precision-rated configurations with dedicated service support, and a smaller next generation tier built around twin-screw systems commands the strongest unit margin despite the smallest current installed base.
Compounding precision validation concentrates premium tier growth among integrators with established service scale and parts infrastructure, while the volume tier remains genuinely competitive between majors and regional integrators fighting for the same price sensitive single-screw segment across producing countries. Volume tier equipment still anchors total category installed base despite carrying the thinnest margins by a meaningful spread across most tracked product channels.

High value margin pools concentrate in the next generation and precision tier, where twin-screw systems support the strongest pricing power available today across the category, and in integrator advised channels where integrators can command premium pricing without facing the same cost sensitivity present across smaller vendor distribution segments. Integrators defending both tiers hold the strongest position worldwide across most tracked channels and building products segments tracked this cycle.

Volume / Commodity-Adjacent Tier

Standard single-screw equipment competing primarily on price for mainstream profile inclusion worldwide. This tier still anchors total category installed base today across most producing countries and dealer channels tracked this cycle.
Gross Margin: 16-22%

Premium / Certified Tier

Precision-rated configurations carrying formal service support and documented compounding verification certification, merchandised at a meaningful price premium over single-screw designs across national building products accounts and dealer advised channels worldwide today.
Gross Margin: 24-30%

Sustainability / Regulatory / Next-Generation Tier

Twin-screw systems aimed at the highest spending precision focused national building products programs, commanding the category's strongest unit margin despite still limited installed base today, a premium integrators increasingly accept across most tracked accounts.
Gross Margin: 32-38%
vinyl-extrusion-equipment-market-portfolio-architecture-1791306114838

High-value Sub-segments and Strategic Watch-out

Twin-Screw Segment

This high value, high growth tier is expanding fastest as differentiated compounding precision documentation reaches mainstream building products credibility, making it the clearest near term margin opportunity worldwide today, since service depth is becoming the clearest differentiator among competing integrators, and early movers best defend margin position long term.
Gross Margin: 32-38%

Precision-Rated Segment

High value and steadily growing, precision-rated equipment commands meaningful pricing power tied to genuine profile complexity and consistency claims, though volume remains constrained relative to conventional formats by continued manufacturer budget planning that keeps scaling steadily worldwide across most tracked vinyl extrusion markets today and beyond.
Gross Margin: 24-30%

Single-Screw Segment

The volume core of the category, single-screw equipment anchors total installed base across profile channels and remains the configuration most manufacturers encounter first, even as premium formats capture growing category revenue share consistently worldwide across most tracked accounts, dealer networks, and distribution channels today and beyond.
Gross Margin: 16-22%

Regional Integrator Segment

The strategic watch out segment, regional integrators are narrowing the price gap with majors fastest at the category's least differentiated price point, and their continued expansion could compress branded pricing power meaningfully absent further twin-screw differentiation investment worldwide, bearing close monitoring this entire cycle overall.

Single-Screw To Twin-Screw Precise

Global vinyl extrusion demand behaves more like an annuity relationship once a manufacturer establishes a qualified integrator and service agreement, since repeat purchase frequency among converted multi-site programs runs meaningfully higher than for occasional single purchase engagements, giving integrators a more predictable revenue base than the category's still uneven twin-screw penetration might otherwise suggest across mature building products markets tracked today.
Adoption depth varies meaningfully by end use vertical: large national building products and window majors show the deepest technical and precision integration and highest repeat engagement rates given their systematic long term supplier qualification protocols, independent mid-size regional manufacturers adopt more cautiously through phased trial engagements before committing to an ongoing twin-screw assortment, and smaller specialty and pilot premium decking projects represent a distinct segment tied to individual site sourcing rather than broad positioning.

Younger operations managers entering the market through digitally influenced automation conscious culture show meaningfully more comfort specifying twin-screw and verified precision formats than an older generation of managers who relied primarily on single-screw sourcing practices passed down across their own purchasing experience, a generational shift reshaping how integrators position premium equipment across their broader commercial outreach programs.

Where MMA Sees Precision Opportunity

These are among the four positions where our research anticipates prominent divergence between winners and laggards over the coming forecast period. Each is grounded in the demand model, the regulatory perimeter, and the announced capacity pipeline.
01 / COMPOUNDING PRECISION VALIDATION STRATEGY

Build documented production evidence before rivals do

Compounding precision validation remains the clearest lever for capturing manufacturer trust, and integrators investing in genuine production trial infrastructure now will hold a durable credibility advantage as competitors relying on single-screw methods struggle to match demonstrated certification economics across most tracked markets. Validation infrastructure takes meaningful time to build and confirm properly across different profile conditions found across building products programs worldwide. Integrators that delay risk losing this fast growing tier to faster moving validation focused competitors, well before it matures into a defensible commercial standard.
02 / SERVICE DEPOT STRATEGY

Build certified service capacity before rivals do

Service depot investment remains the single biggest lever for capturing service capacity, and integrators investing in genuine service infrastructure now will hold a durable service advantage as competitors relying on ad hoc dispatch struggle to match guaranteed precision economics across most tracked building products accounts. Service infrastructure takes meaningful time to build and validate properly across different equipment configurations and jurisdictional requirements found across vinyl extrusion markets worldwide. Integrators that delay risk losing this segment to faster moving service focused competitors active across most producing regions.
03 / MANUFACTURER RELATIONSHIP STRATEGY

Build technical trust before rivals do

Dedicated manufacturer relationship and technical support programs remain the clearest lever for capturing trust driven demand, and integrators investing in genuine advisory infrastructure now will hold a durable credibility advantage as competitors relying on self marketed claims struggle to match validated advisory economics worldwide. Relationship infrastructure takes meaningful time to build and validate properly across different building products networks and regional markets tracked closely today. Integrators that delay risk losing this defensible position to faster moving relationship focused competitors already active in the category.
04 / REGIONAL DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY

Partner with fast growing construction markets before rivals do

Regional distribution partnerships provide a structured channel to reach fast growing sophistication driven building products and window equipment markets beyond established flagship centric production hubs that conventional flagship only distribution cannot access cost effectively at meaningful scale worldwide. Integrators formalizing these partnerships now will establish access before competitors fully consolidate that relationship themselves across fast growing construction markets, particularly across emerging window investment corridors. This partnership approach requires genuine investment in local relationship and technical support rather than treating fast growing markets as an afterthought opportunity.

  2. Compounding precision documentation timelines exceeded manufacturer projections for the most complex multi-site testing during peak production seasons. Additional field audit cycles were required before full fleet transition.
  3. Simpler single site validation protocols achieved meaningfully faster validation timelines, making phased rollout essential to full transition success overall. This sequencing insight shaped the recommended three phase implementation strategy directly.
  4. Bulk equipment procurement across multiple sites secured meaningfully better product pricing than pursuing certification individually would have achieved. This pricing advantage strengthened the case for the formal vendor partnership.
RECOMMENDED STRATEGY
Phase 1: Phase 1 (Months 1 to 3): Launch pilot validation on the simplest single site format to validate documentation assumptions and compounding precision fully. Phase 2: Phase 2 (Months 4 to 9): Expand validation across remaining site formats with vendor supported field audits and dedicated documentation support in place. Phase 3: Phase 3 (Months 10 to 14): Formalize long term equipment agreements based on full validation performance data collected throughout the engagement.
OUTCOME
Within three quarters of phased validation, the manufacturer reportedly achieved meaningfully better precision outcomes while maintaining comparable operating costs (client reported, unverified by MMA), supporting a decision to formalize a long term equipment agreement ahead of the original fourteen month timeline MMA had modeled for the full engagement.
