The situation on the international raw material markets has worsened in recent days. The ongoing conflict in the Middle East is creating uncertainties in supply, especially for petrochemical raw materials. There are shortages, production disruptions, higher energy costs, and challenges in transport and logistics.
Our suppliers have announced substantial price increases at short notice, some of which have already been implemented with immediate effect. As a result, the cost of key raw materials required for the production of our UP resins and BÜFA® specialities has risen significantly within a very short period of time.
In order to ensure continued reliable supply to our customers, we are required to pass on these cost increases. Therefore, with immediate effect, we will increase prices for BÜFA® specialities and UP resins by EUR 0.20/kg for all deliveries from 20 April 2026 onwards.
This adjustment is in addition to the price increase previously announced on 16th March and 7th April 2026.
Market conditions remain extremely volatile, and further cost increases cannot be ruled out at this stage.
We remain fully committed to ensuring reliable supply and stable delivery performance for our customers.
