GEA FlatPlate Newsroom: Material Surcharges
 |
Due to instabilities and increases in the raw material costs of stainless steel, GEA FlatPlate must add a material surcharge to all OEM orders. This material surcharge is based on the published surcharges from steel mills. The table below shows GEA FlatPlate's Material Surcharge for all OEM orders, at time (month) of order entry. |
