As you are aware there is a global shortage of PPE Products in the market and it is compounded by measures to contain the Covid-19 global pandemic in the countries that dominates the production of PPE – mainly Asia.  The glove industry worldwide has warned all suppliers of a global chronic shortage of gloves. The world’s largest producers are saying demand globally outstrips its capacity to fulfil orders and delays are running as late as four to six months behind normal.  Today’s demand is abnormal, and the situation is expected to worsen in the supply chain over the coming weeks and months and as a result has impacted dramatically on cost from our suppliers.

 

Our suppliers are confident that they will be able to continue to supply us with PPE Products because Eucu Trading since its formation in 1999 has built up strong business relationships with our suppliers and as a direct result of that we have been able to keep you all as very valued customers stocked with your PPE requirements.  However this global pandemic Covid-19 that was sprung upon the world has now left us with no other option but to review / increase our PPE prices as our stock will now come to us under allocation and we will have no say in the prices coming from Asia, in order to maintain stock levels.

 

From July 1^st. we will have to increase our PPE prices and we will price these products on a monthly basis or when an order is placed. This situation is beyond our control and we appreciate your understanding of the situation that we all find ourselves in.  You can be assured when an easing of demand arrives and if prices go back down again – we will pass that back onto you.

 

We very much appreciate your business and your continued support during this pandemic and hopefully we will all be out the other side sooner rather than later.
