September 2012

Current World prices for natural rubbers are fairly stable - however there are movements in various synthetic rubber prices in different countries, and this may continue to push prices in the UK up over the next few months.

As we approach Christmas, sea-freight charges on imported materials will be increasing as usual, and this may also have an effect on UK prices - however we currently have 28 containers booked in during September and October alone, so will hopefully be able to keep ahead of the game!

UK manufactured materials look fairly stable at present, and we are now planning new equipment to manufacture a new style of mat ourselves in the UK - to be marketed in 2013.
