LIMBURG-WEILBURG – Many companies in the Limburg-Weilburg region are suffering from rising energy and material costs. They will pass these on to their customers in the form of price increases. This is the result of a company survey by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK).
Accordingly, the corona pandemic has already hit many companies hard. In addition, there were worldwide delivery bottlenecks. And since February 24, the consequences of the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine have further aggravated the situation.
IHK President Heep: “No other way out”
Across all sectors, around 80 percent of German companies are affected by higher purchase prices for energy. In construction and industry in particular, these costs have exploded. Industry, construction and trade are also reporting massive increases in prices for raw materials, goods and preliminary products. In the service sector, on the other hand, “only” half of the companies are affected by this development.
Ulrich Heep, President of the IHK Limburg: “Most companies see no other way out than to pass on the increased costs to their customers – a difficult consideration for every company.”
