Dear Customer,
You may be aware that global market conditions have become increasingly unstable in recent months. Key raw materials, including copper and steel, have experienced substantial cost increases, while changes to F-Gas regulations are now significantly impacting the availability of certain refrigerants across the market.
We are continuing to work closely with our manufacturing partners to mitigate these increases wherever possible. However, we believe it is important to be fully transparent and advise that further price increases are likely and, in some instances, may be implemented with limited notice.
These increases are being driven by external global supply pressures and regulatory changes that remain outside of our control.
Please be assured that these challenges are not isolated to our industry alone, with similar pressures being experienced across multiple sectors. In particular, the refrigerants market is currently facing significant volatility and ongoing supply constraints.
As part of these continuing market pressures, we have today received confirmation of immediate cost increases on the following refrigerants, effective from tomorrow, 20th May:
• R134a – +35%
• R32 – +30%
• R407C – +60%
• R410A – +60%
• R448A – +5%
• R449A – +5%
• R513A – +5%
We appreciate that this news is unwelcome; however, we would like to reassure you that we remain committed to limiting increases wherever possible and continuing to support our customers through these challenging market conditions.
Should you have any questions regarding this update, please do not hesitate to contact your us.
In the meantime, we would like to thank you for your continued support and valued partnership.
