Due to the persistence and severity of increases in raw materials, packaging, fuel and the imminent energy cost hike, Bira Direct supplier Everbuild Building Products has announced an unavoidable price change on some of their products from 1st June 2022.
Everbuild – A Sika company owned by Sika AG, are UK’s leading sealant, adhesive and building chemical brand.
Sika Everbuild have absorbed as much of these increases and held product prices where possible to help support Bira members as much as the business can but due to the impact of the increase in costs, Sika Everbuild are forced to increase their prices. They appreciate that price increases are never welcome but we are all too familiar with the exceptional circumstances in the world currently which are impacting both our professional and personal lives, it is unavoidable that increases as a result of this impact our industry however unwelcome this is for us all.
In a letter to their business partners and customers, they have said:
Cost increases continue to accelerate with the tragic war in Ukraine, energy, oil, freight driver shortages and more all impacting our supply network. The aggregate total of these increases has reached a level where we are required to increase the price of a number of the products in our range. A table of these products and the increases can be found on the additional pages of this letter.
We are acutely aware that price increases may result in challenging times for you, our customer; so please do reach out to your local Business Development Manager should you need to discuss any specific pricing. In the interim ordering, patterns will be monitored with abnormal ordering patterns rejected due to stock availability.
