Shocked by the events in our world, we as a society and population of the European Union face challenging times.
Besides the human tragedies brought about by the Russian-Ukrainian war, our problems seem rather minor.
Nevertheless, we must also monitor and manage the economic situation. Due to significant price increases in raw materials (steel), as well as energy and diesel prices, suppliers have unfortunately raised prices considerably.
At the same time, the zinc price for hot-dip galvanizing according to DIN EN ISO 1461 has also risen sharply.
Unfortunately, this also forces us to apply a temporary surcharge of 5-15% on the prices for waste bin boxes and also package prices. Economic experts predict a 100% increase in prices for steel and other raw materials by the end of the year… Availability can no longer be guaranteed either.
The prices according to the website can now change daily. We ask for your understanding for this unavoidable measure. Since steel, energy, and zinc prices continue to rise, this is initially only a temporary surcharge due to increased costs.
Our products are easy to assemble, resistant to corrosion, and low-maintenance. Besides the high standards for the products themselves, it is important to us to make production sustainable. We only have production carried out within the EU. This way, we also want to contribute to protecting the climate and the environment. Additionally, we focus on consolidated shipping and optimized logistics solutions. On the one hand, this benefits our customers, and on the other hand, it benefits the environment and the climate.
