It was already clear during the last quarter of 2020 that global raw materials markets, prices for raw materials, logistics chains and therefore indirectly also the supply situation for Girsberger could continue to come under pressure in 2021. Prices for raw materials are extremely volatile at the top end. Some of our suppliers’ sources of raw materials are also threatening to dry up. Price rises and possible shortages can therefore be expected if there is no lasting improvement in the situation during the third and fourth quarters of 2021.
