Dear customer
You will probably be aware from the news about ongoing supply issues with raw materials such as CO2, Argon, Metals etc and the pending increases to domestic Gas and Electricity supplies due to the price cap changes. Wholesale Gas pricing has been unstable and continuing to rise around Europe with domestic energy pricing reaching record levels.
In addition, demand has also increased exponentially in a very short period of time, and this has been caused by ongoing global supply chain issues caused by various conflicts around the world.
Our biggest focus at this point is getting the raw materials and continuing to supply you, our customers, with reliable, stable and high quality, supply of product so that we all continue to operate and do business, during these volatile times.
BUSE Gases Ltd have tried, where possible, to absorb additional costs, however the situation continues to remain uncertain and as stock is purchased at the current market value plus the costs of running the filling plant continue to increase. This created the need for our company to introduce variable surcharges.
BUSE Gases Ltd understand these are difficult times for many customers but the variable surcharge will be reviewed each month, so please view this webpage to see the variable surcharge amount applicable at any given time.
