Dear customers and partners,

The prices for pure tin (LME) and silver (Agosi) have always been very volatile, a situation we are all used to it.

Pure tin has been at a consistently high level since middle of last year and made a huge step since November 2025. In the same period also the price of silver has increased dramatically.

Unfortunately, this has had a significant impact on the prices of Silver containing products as some Alloys, solder pastes and Cored solder Wire.
