Price increases 2022

Dear customers

Unfortunately, our suppliers are still struggling to meet demand.

Raw material prices continue to rise and we also see a strong upward trend in transport costs and energy surcharges.

Various suppliers have shortages of raw materials, and other production-disrupting problems in various factories, during the pandemic, buffer stocks have also been reduced at suppliers and demand is rising much faster than the production capacity can be scaled up.

For us, this means in particular the prices for the lightweight wooden panels (+ 50%) and the plastic products specially tailored and color made for us, such as finishing strips, door knobs and the like. Polyether (+ 35%) as well as the Leather look (+ 15%) and HPL (+ 18%), which we use for the finish, have been increased.

There are also transport problems that lead to price increases, which can mainly be explained by the rise in wage costs in combination with a shortage on the labor market, a shortage of containers and greatly increased Diesel oil prices.

As always, we do everything we can to ensure the continuity of our deliveries to you. However, this is currently a major challenge, and as a result we also have to deal with price increases, and much longer delivery times.

However, the price increases of the materials and the transport costs are so exorbitant that we cannot fully bear these, despite maximum attention to cost savings within our company, we are therefore unfortunately forced to increase the prices from 8% to 11%

We too find it hard to believe, but unfortunately we can't deal with the problems described above in any other way.

Also read below:

Due to the strongly fluctuating prices of raw materials and energy, we cannot guarantee the prices for longer than one month.

This means that if you have not paid for your order within a month, the order will be deleted.

and if you make a new order afterwards, it can be more expensive.

We hope and rely on your understanding of this situation.
