The situation currently shows little sign of abating, and Flint Group is feeling its impact via: • Price increases for raw materials & intermediates; • Rising transportation, logistics and insurance costs; • Longer lead times; • Lower availability of certain materials; • Force majeure from certain suppliers; and • Higher energy costs.
