Shortage of plastics
The global economic recovery is leading to shortages of not only chips, metals and wood, but most recently also plastic granules for the production of plastic components. The price of granules has doubled this year to an all-time high and supplies are delayed. This benefits refinery Slovnaft but troubles car and electronics plastics parts makers. Local manufacturers Esox-Plast and Thermoplastik confirm the situation is tense. The local carmakers are still managing the situation well.
