Cost increase

31 January 2011

Vreeland, January 2011

Cost prices have risen significantly over the last period. The cost situation is worrying as we have seen transport prices gone up due to higher prices for fuel and labour. We also saw cost increases at energy and pallets. Prices of raw materials will go up as current developments already have an impact on the price level

Price increase fiber drums.

5 October 2010

Over the last months the price of kraftliner, the base material for the production of Fibre drums, has increased with more than 20% and is now on an all time high price level. The main reason is the shortage in supply and the increased conversion costs. The forecast is that the prices will increase further in the coming months. As a result of this we are forced to adapt our prices per November 1st in line with the increase of raw materials.
