Aluminum price development

Increasing prices for aluminium extruded profiles

In spite of stable US$-rates for aluminium alloy at the London Metal Exchange
for the last 12 months some other parameters cause a price increase
for extruded aluminium profiles.

The weakness of the EURO-currency compared with US$ is one cause.
Furthermore there has been a massive price increase for aluminium billets
in 2014 with direct effects on the price for extruded profiles.

Compared with the situation one year ago you have to consider approx.
20% higher prices for the material cost of heat sinks for new contracts
signing in February 2015.
