Price Hikes!

A short one this one.

Come on PVC industry, we all know these glass price hikes are unfair, lets get our voices heard properly and start to do something about it, lets not all talk about how unfair it is all the time. There's some very influential people out there in our industry who I'm sure could start the ball rolling on some action, I'm sure a threat to buy our glass elsewhere might gain some attention.

Problem is there's only four suppliers in the UK, and they're all in it together.

The idea of everybody buying from one supplier for a while wouldn't work, in the same way all those emails about Petrol didn't any difference. For ease I continued using the same petrol station I always use.

If the major independent sealed unit manufacturers got together, they may have influence, but they'd potentially also set prices to installers.

Best just to whinge about it...

Unfortunately your probably right, we can only whinge.

Im wondering when retailers may start seeing significant price rises. The last price increases didn't have any effect on us, but suppliers can only take so many price rises on the chin.

We had a small price rise to be honest.

The sealed unit business is particularly tough (we should know) so I'm sure that such persistence by the big four will force manufacturers who are already struggling out of business.
