Pricing Update

Notice: Pricing Update – Effective 1 May 2026

We’re providing advance notice of an update to pricing across our EUROFLO Pipe and Fittings range, effective Friday, 1 May 2026.

 

Why this is changing

Input costs have increased materially and remain volatile, particularly across resin, freight, and other manufacturing inputs, alongside ongoing supply chain disruption. Across the wider market, polyethylene-related pricing movements are currently being seen in the range of 25–30%.

 

At P&F Global, our focus is to be the trusted twinwall pipe solutions provider to the civil market — and in the current environment, this means maintaining dependable supply, practical support, and clear communication through a period of sustained cost pressure.

We have worked hard to absorb as much of this pressure as possible and keep any pricing movement measured. However, to maintain supply continuity and service performance, it is necessary to adjust pricing in line with current cost conditions.

Pricing (effective 1 May 2026)

Updated pricing will apply to all deliveries from 1 May 2026.

 

Product group Price change
EUROFLO Pipe +17% to +29%

Actual client impact may vary depending on product mix, trading position, and existing commercial arrangements.

Our Civil Specialists will be in touch with you about your pricing and current open quotes.

Freight Changes (effective 1 April 2026)

As domestic freight costs continue to rise, particularly through ongoing increases in Fuel Adjustment Factors (FAF) applied by freight providers, some freight settings will be updated.

We will continue to support our clients with flexible and efficient delivery arrangements, including typical yard deliveries and close-to-yard sites, ensuring reliable and responsive service. However, to reflect current cost conditions, the following freight settings will apply from 1 April: 

  • Orders under $1,000 (ex GST) will incur a $100 freight charge.
  • A Fuel Adjustment Factor (FAF) surcharge will apply to all orders and will be reviewed regularly to reflect current fuel costs.
  • Freight-free delivery will continue to apply in many standard situations, including typical yard deliveries and close sites, however project-specific freight charges may apply for longer distance deliveries or certain site requirements.

Quotes and Orders

 

  • Quotes not accepted and extending beyond 30 April 2026 may be withdrawn or reviewed to reflect updated pricing, availability, validity periods and supply conditions.
  • New quotes will reflect current market pricing and will have shorter validity periods.

What we are doing to support

 

We understand that project timing, site access and laydown space, can make procurement decisions difficult. To help clients manage this period, we are introducing a temporary measure that allows orders to be confirmed against a purchase order number or contract, with stock then able to be held for up to four weeks prior to dispatch and invoicing.

 

This is intended to help contractors bring procurement forward, secure supply earlier, while still allowing time to work through site access, and laydown constraints before delivery is required.

 

Where longer holding periods may be needed, these can be discussed and agreed on a case-by-case basis. Please speak with our team to explore suitable commercial arrangements.

 

We will continue to work with our clients on value engineering opportunities, including reviewing alternative grades, sizes, and product solutions to help achieve project outcomes.

FAQ’s

Why are prices changing now?

We’re pricing to replacement cost. Resin, freight and fuel have moved quickly, and our priority is making sure we have product available when customers need it.

Are these changes temporary?

Costs remain volatile. We will continue to review pricing in line with market conditions and communicate any future changes early.

Will existing quotes be honoured?

Quotes valid through to 30 April 2026 will be honoured. Quotes beyond this date will be withdrawn.

Is this just a margin increase?

No. This reflects a real market reset. Internal freight and input costs have increased materially. Acting now helps protect supply continuity and avoids more disruptive surcharges or product gaps later.
