▸Our e-mail: PH-100 housings – our counterproposal and request for a cost breakdown

Dear Mr Moser,

Thank you for your offer and for twelve years of reliable supply.

We would like a solution that keeps your foundry healthy. However, +8.8 % is hard for us to follow. By your own figures, WAGES-METAL rose 3.1 % and makes up 28 % of your cost, which works out to roughly 0.9 % on the unit price.

Could you share a cost breakdown for PH-100, showing energy, metal, labour and overhead? That would help us understand the rest of the increase.

In return, we can offer planning security: a 24-month commitment for 4,000 housings per year. Please see the attached alternatives.

Best regards,
Hollerau Pumpenwerke Purchasing

▸Our e-mail: PH-100: revised alternatives for a 24-month agreement

Dear Mr Moser,

Thank you for moving to EUR 51.60 and for accepting the 24-month frame.

Our reasoning comes from your own figures. WAGES-METAL rose 3.1 % and makes up 28 % of your cost, which adds about 0.9 % to the unit price.

We understand that SCRAP-E3 and GAS-TTF matter too. Could you tell us roughly what share of your cost each one represents? Then we can look at the remaining gap together, with figures on both sides.

We want your foundry to stay healthy. We have attached three revised packages and are flexible on the start date and the payment terms.

Best regards,
Hollerau Pumpenwerke Purchasing
