Koenig & Bauer has adjusted the pricing of its entire product portfolio due to increased raw material cost

According to the company, the reduced availability of raw materials such as copper, plastics, additives, sheet metal, and wood and higher shipping and logistics costs require an adjustment in prices. Another reason is the global chip shortage, leading to reduced capacities and long lead times for industrial customers, including those outside the automotive sector.

‘The price adjustment comes in an environment of increasingly scarce resources and is a necessary step to enable us to continue offering our customers the quality, customized solutions, and reliable service they expect from us,’ commented Ralf Sammeck, member of the Executive Board at Koenig & Bauer. ‘The global challenges facing the industry would have to be mastered together in order to maintain our innovative strength.’
