Functional parts such as gears, plain bearings, and closures perform moving, precision tasks – engineering thermoplastics with high dimensional stability and low wear are used for this, and their prices shape unit costs.

Companies that rely on pricenxt




With pricenxt Analytics, teams capture price developments faster, compare price series, and build up their own structured market monitoring.
Functional parts use engineering thermoplastics such as POM and the polyamides; movements in their prices feed straight into the production costs of precision series components.
Engineering thermoplastics in focus: POM, PA and PBT determine a large share of the material costs of functional parts.
High series volumes: with precision parts in large quantities, even a small price difference decides the total cost.
Material choice with cost consequences: alternatives such as POM, PA 6 or PA 6.6 develop differently in price.



From procurement through to sales: pricenxt supports key decisions along the entire value chain.
Tracks price developments for the thermoplastics used, benchmarks the company’s own price level against the market and prepares supplier negotiations on a sound basis.
Selects materials for precision and moving parts and assesses alternatives such as POM or PA in terms of function and material costs.
Assesses material alternatives and specifications in terms of cost and calculates the effect of price movements on the product portfolio.
