Dear Ganzlin Partner,

thank you very much for your trust and the pleasant cooperation in the past year. We are proud that together we have managed to grant continuity and always react quickly and flexibly.

The situation on the raw materials market for powder coatings has unfortunately been very tense since the last quarter of 2020 and will continue to come under extreme pressure in 2021.

The raw materials for the production of our resins are very scarce and the price has increased extremely. This market development affects all powder coatings manufacturers in Europe.

Despite intensive cost management and initiated rationalisation measures, we a are no longer able to cover the price-induced cost charges caused by massive increases in raw material costs on our own and have to adjust the conditions for many of our Ganzlin products as of 1 February 2021.

Unfortunately, the forecasts of raw material suppliers also remain uncertain. We may have to get used to accepting monthly or quarterly conditions for the time being. You are already familiar with this from other sectors, such as the steel and zinc industries. We will always calculate and offer up-to-date prices for you.

You will receive your personal offer on request. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your Ganzlin customer advisors and the members of our internal sales team.

Due to the low margins, a price commitment over a longer period of time cannot be guaranteed for the time being. Therefore, we can only commit for a maximum of three months for the time being. If there is positive information, you can be sure that Ganzlin will also inform you immediately.

Together with you, we would like to develop further and constantly strive towards our goal: the best possible customer service, high product quality and speed in sampling and order processing for your success!

We thank you for your understanding and remain

with kind regards

André Beckerman
