Mr. Yamazaki sent me the price increase notice.
Here is the translation of his message.
Fuji purchased 70% of the part/component to build the autoclave from overseas.
Average price increase of these components is over 40 % in last 12 month. He increased
the export price in December last year by 30% except Thailand. He can't hold the current export
price any more, and would like us to accept 25% price increase effective immediately
including our PO placed in May.
I replied back to him as follows.
The order we just placed covers our orders we took at TDA show. Therefore, the selling
price has been agreed with our customers, and it is not possible for us to change it. However,
I will discuss your request of the price increase with Dr. Apipone, and let you know his reply.
