With immediate effect, from September 1st 2021
Labour, to begin with.
Holland (Europe) has more vacancies than unemployed which causes the market to become extremely competitive. Finding new colleagues, both permanent and temporary, is getting more and more difficult and thus more and more expensive.
The costs of the actual work increases alongside that and that shall have its impact on the prices.
Wood / Pallets
Then, there is a worrying shortage of Wood. The basic ingredient that one needs to put pallets together. This causes the prices of these pallets to increase to € 10,00 for normal standard 1.00 x 1.20 meter pallet and to € 15,00 per pallet for euro-size pallets.
Packing materials
An almost chronic lack of Plastic is another thing. Raw materials for packing units in general. That also results in increasing costs, shortage or even non-availability of materials and equipment. Here You will see increasing prices for the supply of packing materials.
