In a partnership, it is part of the job to inform you about extraordinary market developments.


In recent weeks, abstruse availability and price developments have occurred on the commodity markets, which are currently expected to continue for the next few weeks or even months.


The Corona pandemic has already led to massive disruptions in some supply chains in 2020. Furthermore, the rapid recovery of the global economy from the Corona pandemic is encountering an imbalance in the supply chains (wood, steel products, recovered paper and chemical products).


We have received increasing reports of force majeure, shutdowns and maintenance from various suppliers. In various areas of the supplier industry, there are delivery delays, steadily increasing delivery times and higher material prices.










Orders:
current delivery times:






XPS / EPS
No delivery commitments, allocation of quotas




Plasterboard
4 weeks with a very strong upward trend




Profiles:
6 – 8 weeks, unresolved situation




Mineral wool:
3 weeks, allocation of quotas




Wood:
2 – 3 weeks, unresolved situation










In recent weeks, we have been able to compensate for existing supply bottlenecks in various product areas through additional purchases.


Unfortunately, it is foreseeable that there will be no timely deliveries from the industry for some product groups. We therefore ask for your understanding already today.


In recent weeks, we have not only received price increases in the 2-digit range from the building materials industry, but we are also partly being put on volume allocation by our suppliers.
