International market conditions have been highly volatile recently. As a result, prices and delivery times for products in our product range are subject to change without notice.

Global developments have a direct impact on the availability and cost of products. For example, geopolitical tensions and disruptions in key trade routes, including the Strait of Hormuz, are causing uncertainty in transportation and supply chains. This route is of great importance to the global energy supply, meaning that disruptions have a direct impact on fuel prices and logistics costs.

In addition, energy prices remain elevated, which affects manufacturers’ production processes. We are also seeing rising transportation and freight costs, partly due to fluctuating fuel surcharges and limited availability of logistics capacity.

These factors are causing suppliers worldwide to adjust their prices. In many cases, these price increases are passed along throughout the supply chain and thus also affect our purchase prices.

Although we strive to absorb these developments for as long as possible, we may be forced to adjust prices in the interim and revise our logistics terms to remain in line with current cost levels.

We are continuously monitoring the situation and actively adjusting our purchasing and inventory strategy accordingly. Our guiding principle remains to guarantee delivery reliability, quality, and service as you have come to expect from us.
