In 2023, thanks to a stabilized raw materials market, we were able to avoid
having to implement a general price increase and we have largely phased out temporary surcharges.
Future is uncertain
However, what the future will bring us remains difficult to predict. We notice that raw material producers are more reluctant than ever to quote long-term prices, making it very difficult to forecast future prices. On the other hand, general costs, as well as costs for matters such as shipping and regulatory, continue to rise rapidly. And on top of that, there is once again a significant legally required increase in the minimum wages, which has a major impact on our labor costs.
No general price increase
Nevertheless, we have decided not to implement a general price increase for now. However, we will take several measures to provide a solution against the increased costs.
No guarantee
However, these measures do not guarantee that we will not have to implement a general price increase or surcharges if needed later. We hope that we have offered you a suitable solution. We do this, of course, because we like to enter long-term relationships.
