As you know we at ECF have always taken the view that with exchange rates we take the rough with the smooth and this principle has been applied throughout 2016.

During this time, we have absorbed a number of price increases on raw materials and our aim has always been to continue our efforts to support growth within our customer base - by giving you the stability to develop your business based on constant competitive pricing. However, since the Brexit vote further increases on raw materials have been compounded by negative exchange rates resulting in the need for us to adjust our prices accordingly.

This being the case, all orders placed before 2:00pm on Friday 16^th September will be charged at the current list prices however, the following price adjustments will take affect for all orders received after this time...

• Handles - 10% price increase
• Storage Solutions - 10% price increase
• General Accessories - 10% price increase
• Sensio products - 5% price increase (aligned with Sensio's new RRP list)

Good news however is that we will not be implementing any price adjustments on Blum & Caple products during the remainder of 2016.

To summarise the above, it is never pleasant to confront customers with the prospect of increasing prices but on this occasion we would ask for your help and understanding.

Should you require any further information, please feel free to contact your TSM or our customer service team on 01664 424288 who will be happy to advise further.
