Due to the volatility of raw materials, we have had no option other than to implement the following price increases from 1st October 2013:

  • HIPS  +6.5%
  • ABS +4&
  • ViPrint +6.5%

Whilst writing we must advise you that we are also seeing increased feedstock prices for other raw materials in the European markets and as such would recommend you liaise with the sales team when quoting forward.

Following a relatively long period of benign activity in the polymer market, it would appear that we have now entered a new era of aggressive price hikes.

A combination of high demand for styrene monomer, coupled with restricted supply due to plant outages over the summer have driven both monomer and polymer prices to unprecedented levels.

SWP are proud to be your choice of supplier and welcome the opportunity to look at any long term requirements you may have.

A new pricelist is available upon request and can be emailed or posted in hard copy. Please contact us if you would like any further information. We are looking forward to talking to you.
