Dear Valued Client,
I hope you are well.
We appreciate your continued support and the opportunity to work with you across your projects. We remain committed to delivering high-quality products while maintaining transparency in our pricing.
Over recent months, the global manufacturing and supply environment has experienced sustained and significant cost pressures. In particular, raw material costs, driven by disruption to global oil supply chains have increased sharply, alongside broader operational and supply chain costs.
Despite our efforts to mitigate these pressures through strategic sourcing, forward purchasing, and maintaining strong buffer stock levels, we are now being subjected to substantial surcharges and cost increases from our suppliers. These increases are both immediate and ongoing.
As a result, and in order to maintain continuity of supply and manufacturing output, we have no alternative but to pass a portion of these increases through to our customers.
A temporary surcharge of 10% will therefore be applied to all aspirating pipe and fittings, effective from 20th April 2026.
This surcharge will be applied based on the dispatch date. Products dispatched prior to 20th April 2026 will not be subject to the surcharge; however, this remains strictly subject to available stock.
How this increase has been calculated:
We have assessed current stock, stock in transit, forward-purchased materials, and recently procured materials, applying a weighted average across these positions. This has enabled us to limit the immediate impact to 10%, despite current replacement costs for raw materials being approximately 84% higher than previous levels.
We will continue to review this position closely, with a further assessment scheduled over the next three months, at which point any adjustments will be communicated.
We are actively working to secure additional raw material supply to support consistent manufacturing. While this remains challenging, further deliveries are expected in the coming months. Supply will continue to be managed carefully in line with availability.
Please note that all pricing, including surcharges, will be confirmed at the point of dispatch and remains subject to change in line with market conditions.
All quotations are valid for 7 days only, and all orders remain subject to review and confirmation prior to production.
These measures have not been taken lightly but are necessary to ensure fair allocation of materials and to protect continuity of supply during this period of uncertainty.
We value our partnership with you and remain committed to supporting your business. Should you have any questions or wish to discuss upcoming requirements, please do not hesitate to contact us
Thank you for your continued trust and collaboration.
