Since the beginning of 2021, component prices have increased by 10-30%. Furthermore, components are difficult to obtain and often without delivery date guarantees, which means that delivery times cannot be guaranteed despite measures taken.

General inflation is >5% in the important euro area and >7% in the US$ area. The €/SFr exchange rate has fallen from 1.12 to currently 1.03.

We have done a lot to make the price adjustments as moderate as possible. But we have to pass on part of the cost increase. For example, component prices will be adjusted in line with supplier price increases. Furthermore, the hourly rates, which have remained constant for many years, will be raised.

If the dynamics on the procurement markets and inflation force us to do so, we may have to adjust individual products/services/SW licences again.

Current framework agreements will be reviewed together with our customers and adjusted if necessary.

We ask for your understanding and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
