EMMERICH, Germany – Probat, the world market and technology leader in coffee processing plant and machinery, announces a price increase. Net sales pricing for all Probat products will increase effective as of July 1, 2021. The price adjustment is driven by significant price increases in the procurement of steel, sheet metal and components in particular, which the company is currently experiencing.
In addition, the company faces a tight supply in both commodities and logistics needed to manufacture and deliver its own products.
Therefore it feels forced to notify its customers that it is increasing net sales prices by 4.5%. These increases will be implemented through changes in list prices and are necessary to help offset this significant rise in costs.
Rising steel prices in particular and a strong economy are driving the cost pressure also in the coffee industry. Probat is working diligently towards further optimizing its cost structure and operational processes.
