Dear customer,
Thank you very much for your message - it is always a pleasure to hear from you, and we are glad to help wherever we can.
We have reviewed your offer and can adjust our Angebot as follows.
Our terms: a price of €5.45 per unit, Zahlungsziel 90 days net, a contract term of 36 months, a Preisgleitklausel on AS-14404.
Here is the background.
We checked the index change data you cited; it holds, but it does not change our calculation.
We checked the delivery record data you cited; it holds, but it does not change our calculation.
We checked the volume change data you cited; it holds and we took it into account.
That is not our reality: our AS-14404 is covered at fixed prices until March 2027, so that fall does not reach our cost.
AS-14404 rose 5.9 % in twelve months and is 45 % of our cost. That remains.
LCI-C rose 2.7 % in twelve months and is 5 % of our cost. That remains.
PPI-C2431 rose 12.3 % in twelve months and is 38 % of our cost. That remains.
We acknowledge the recent decrease in the AS-14404 index; however, our raw material is secured at fixed prices until March 2027, limiting our ability to pass on this short-term reduction.
We can accommodate your request for a 36-month contract and 90-day payment terms, provided we include an AS-14404 index clause to manage long-term volatility.
Taking your increased volume forecast and delivery feedback into account, we propose a revised base price of €5.57.
Alternatively, with a Preisgleitklausel on AS-14404: €5.57 per unit.
Our price follows our main cost drivers: AS-14404, PPI-C2431, LCI-C.
A binding higher volume would help us and can improve the price.
Which volume can you commit to?
And while we are at it: our whole range is at your disposal, so if there is anything else on your list, just send it over - we are happy to quote.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
