Extreme instability in the market
Extreme instability in the market in an extraordinary situation drives prices up.
Throughout 2021, we have seen price increases for raw materials, driven by a sharp increase in demand due to the pandemic and an extreme increase in shipping costs from Asia. But what we see now is something completely different. The world is holding its breath while parts of Europe are at war, a war that is affecting the Ukrainian people and the world order we have taken for granted.
This instability in the market has pushed prices up sharply, to levels no one could have foreseen. Prices of raw materials for the products and also the cost of other types of raw materials such as energy, freight, cans, cartons and pallets have increased sharply. We are simply facing a situation we have not seen before in modern times, with cost increases that significantly affect us.
Apart from the fact that prices are skyrocketing, there is a shortage of raw materials. So far, we have managed to get hold of raw materials and achieved the desired delivery times to our customers, but even here we see that it is becoming increasingly difficult.
We ask you to place your orders on time, to make it easier for us to handle the purchase of raw materials and deliver the products on time.
