A sustained easing of the situation is currently not foreseeable. Increasing demand for strategic materials such as tungsten is adding further pressure.
New alloy surcharge (LGZ)
250,00
EUR/kg carbide
The surcharge is calculated according to the material used and shown separately on all documents.
Why a surcharge instead of a price increase?
- No general adjustment of list prices
- Transparent and cost-based allocation of raw material costs
- Fair allocation based on the actual amount of material used
Implementation of the LGZ
- The product weight has been determined for all carbide tools
- The product weight is multiplied by the current surcharge (EUR/kg carbide)
- Dynamic adjustment in line with market developments
- Shown separately on all documents
