Please read: Ukraine conflict causes steel prices to rise

Shocked by what is happening in our world, we as a society and population of the European Union are facing challenging times.

Next to the human tragedies brought about by the Russian-Ukrainian war, our problems sound rather like trifles.

Nevertheless, we also have to monitor and manage economic events. Due to considerable price increases for input material (steel), as well as energy and diesel prices, suppliers have unfortunately increased prices significantly.

At the same time, the price of zinc for hot-dip galvanizing in accordance with DIN EN ISO 1461 has also risen sharply.

Unfortunately, this means that we are also forced to add an inflation surcharge of 5-15% to the prices for dustbin boxes and parcel prices in the short term. Economic experts forecast a 100% increase in prices for steel and other raw materials by the end of the year... Availability can also no longer be guaranteed.

The prices according to the website can now change daily. We ask for your understanding for this unavoidable measure. As steel energy and zinc prices continue to rise, this is only the temporary inflation surcharge for now.

 Our products are easy to assemble, resistant to corrosion and easy to maintain. In addition to the high demands on the products themselves, it is important to us to make the production sustainable. We have our products produced exclusively in the EU. In this way, we also want to make our contribution to protecting the climate and the environment. We also pay attention to bundled shipping and optimized logistics solutions. On the one hand, this is advantageous for our customers, on the other hand, it is also good for the environment and the climate.
