Trade union of paper manufacturers in Finland issues a strike warning again
Many material manufacturers have already called out a “force majeure”, which will affect the planning, prices and delivery time of robos-labels. We will inform our customers about the particular effects as needed via their respective contact persons.
Strike at UPM factories in Finland
The trade union of paper workers has issued a new strike warning prolonging the strike till March 12th, 2022, insofar new agreements will not be made earlier. This affects the raw material deliveries by UPM/Finland to their factories in other European countries. According to UPM, the delivery capacity will be further affected by the prolongation of the strike. Additionally, the strike aggravates the already since the beginning of 2021 tense and limited supply situation in the industry.
Force Majeure
The announcement of force majeure invalidates the price- and delivery time agreements. These can be remade and renegotiated. On the counterpart, the customer has the possibility to withdraw from the purchasing contract.
Possible effects for our customers
- Not all new orders can be confirmed
- We may be forced to limit, postpone or cancel the existing orders
- We cannot accept any orders beyond the common order procedure
- We possibly are not able to supply to new customers to secure the supply of the existing customers.
Our employees in the purchasing, production, logistics and sales departments work intensively to mitigate the impacts of the strike and to secure the supplying of our customers as planned.
We will inform you as soon as possible about any changes regarding your orders. We are sorry for that situation and we apologize for the resulting inconveniences. Thank you for your understanding and your loyalty.
