After almost 2 years that the pandemic hit our daily life, to which EverZinc and its customers adapted rather swiftly with virtual meetings and increased HSE measures, EverZinc is now facing new challenges that require a fast adaptation.
"We continue to experience significant energy costs increases (mainly gas and electricity) but also increased complexity in supply chains and logistics hurdles as well as backlogs around the world, which have significantly and persistently increased the cost of our operations. More recently, we also face a unseen zinc supply challenges due to announced production cut backs by major zinc smelters" said Olivier Bernard, CCO before adding "EverZinc is doing its utmost to minimize the impact whenever possible and we have been able to absorb some of these additional costs through cost-control measures but today the sustainability of our company however objectively requires us to increase our prices".
"We do not take this step lightly and our sales team will be in contact with each customer to outline the exact increase for their specific situation and as contracts permit." said furthermore Olivier Bernard, before concluding "We thank our customers for the continued business they do with us and the trust they have given us during these challenging times."
