Aluminium profiles continue to rise in price

One of the representatives of the companies for the production of aluminum profiles reported that the increase in cost of production is connected not only with the growth of demand for it. No one denies that the price of aluminum profiles, depending on the financial policy of the enterprises have increased on average by 10−12%, while to the situation was influenced by the totality of the facts, including the increase in the value of the metal on the London Stock Exchange, premium growth in aluminum production and the negative dynamics USD exchange rate. With translucent structures made of aluminum profile and the situation is not easy, because even the construction season has undergone some changes.

However, to date, the company is in a combat zone, that adversely affects its performance.
