Price Adjustment Request Form
Instructions
We see our suppliers as a key source of competitive advantage. Our aim is to build
sustainable relationships based on mutual economic benefit through trust, integrity,
open communication and a joint commitment to continuous improvement.
At The Laminex Group we are proud to be considered as preferred customers by many
of our suppliers and we are constantly looking for ways to improve our communication
with you.
This online form will enable you to clearly articulate the background and requirements
associated with a Price Adjustment Request and also to provide all relevant
information including the proposed new prices.
When requesting a price increase our corporate policy requires that you advise us
of your proposal at least 90 days in advance of the effective date of the
new prices. For those Suppliers with a current formal supply contract in place we
will continue to abide by the terms of the contract to which we are bound.
The online form facilitates the approval of proposed new prices, and clarifies
the information we require to accompany all price adjustment requests. This form
needs to be filled in its entirety. In addition the excel spreadsheet located at
the bottom of section 3 of the online form will need to be downloaded and filled
in. This form will need to be saved on your computer and then uploaded to the Price
Adjustment Request Form before it can be submitted.
Following this process is essential as it will help ensure your request is given
the fullest consideration. In most cases we will be able to respond to your requests
within 15 business days.
If you have any questions in relation to this process, please contact
our Procurement Department or refer to the Q & A presented below.
We thank you for your ongoing support and for your attention to this important matter.
