Outokumpu plans to further develop its new Daily Alloy Surcharge (DAS) pricing model for distributor customers in Europe to ensure a smooth transition to the new ways of working.
Says Olli-Matti Saksi, head of sales, EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa), “Being able to influence price elements better and having additional decision freedom are critical aspects to many of our customers. Some of our customers have asked us to further develop options available within the Daily Alloy Surcharge (DAS). We understand the needs of our customers and therefore, we will increase the number of options within the Outokumpu DAS pricing model.”
The new additional option 3 – DAS Average Flex – is aimed at giving more flexibility and individuality to Outokumpu customers along with ways to decrease alloy risk. With the new DAS Average Flex, an average period of the daily alloy surcharges can be defined individually within the time frame of order and delivery date.
Once the additional option 3 has been implemented successfully in the second quarter of 2014, it will be available for all mill deliveries to distributor customers in Europe.
