What moves your costs

Long lead times, fixed quotes

Months often pass between quote and production. If steel or stainless prices rise in between, margins shrink.

Surcharges instead of base prices

For stainless steel, alloy surcharges decide the final price. They change monthly and per material number.

Wage and material escalation clauses

Public and industrial customers require traceable indices for material and wages.
