Surcharge Information
Due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, there has been an unprecedented increase in costs which unfortunately cannot be absorbed into existing pricing metrics.
New Guard Coatings Group will categorically not make any additional profits from this situation; we will pass on the same percentage increases as those applied by our supply partners. These currently vary from 5% to 15% on paint and coatings. Copies of the relevant communications from our partners can be shared with you upon request for full transparency. These include the implementation dates they have imposed, which are the same dates we must, in turn, apply to our customers.
With our own product range, Guard, we are implementing a 5% price increase, although some items may need to be reviewed on a product-by-product basis as the situation evolves.
