Hi Mirko,
Could you perhaps let me know if the delivery situation for the MCP 312 is likely to improve significantly over the next few days?
I really need the 50x60cm format for an exhibition in the near future.
Best regards,
Guido

There are now major capacity issues in the industry. For years, no one but us invested and expanded – everyone else was scaling back.
Now there’s a slight upturn, and immediately things are grinding to a halt.
We cannot produce PE film ourselves, as it is so extremely cheap and tightly priced that only a mass producer can manufacture it.
This supplier is facing capacity bottlenecks and is prioritising its own production over contract manufacturing.
This is to be expected and cannot be changed. It was the same last year. We didn’t have any 312 for quite some time then either. We did order more within the limits of our modest means, but the paper is so tightly budgeted that even the interest on the capital investment is a problem.
We now have a slot scheduled for January, but it hasn’t been confirmed yet.
Best regards,
Mirko
