Production is slowing down. We are experiencing a shortage of electronic components and of certain raw materials, such as aluminum, which is very present in our coffee machines. The price of steel stands at 1046 dollars per ton, down -11.1% over one month and up 8.1% over one year. Steel, an alloy of iron and carbon, is one of the most widely used metals in the world.
Today, and in comparison with 2020, we are paying on average +17.2% for our coffee machines and +7% for our household appliances.
We realize that most of the parts of our appliances are manufactured outside of Europe. With the COVID, many companies are stopped, the seaports have reduced their activity and to that we can add the costs of fuel, the routing is more expensive…
It‘s simple, the purchase prices “at the source” have doubled in 1 year!
The coffee industry is going through an incredibly difficult period, with costs rising sharply and supply chains strained by complex geopolitical and environmental factors.
Despite this, we are committed to your satisfaction and are making every effort to provide you with the best possible service. We also strive to keep our stock constant and our prices as competitive as possible!
So in short, even if you can’t find any more toilet paper, sunflower oil or you can’t dream anymore with OGC NICE, you will (almost) always have your solenoid valve or your filter holder at Composants Diffusion !
