IT and telecommunications equipment places high demands on flame retardancy, precision, and surface finish – from housings to connectors, it is above all engineering plastics that shape material 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.
IT and telecommunications equipment relies on demanding engineering plastics; where unit numbers are high, price movements in PC, PC/ABS or the polyamides have a noticeable effect on production costs.
Technically demanding materials: flame retardancy and precision call for high-grade plastics with a price dynamic of their own.
Several competing materials: PC, PC/ABS and ABS are specified according to the requirement – and their prices develop differently.
A reliable basis for calculation: current price data makes quotations and budgets more robust.



From procurement to engineering: pricenxt supports key decisions right across the value chain.
Tracks price developments for the plastics in use, benchmarks the company’s own price level against the market and prepares supplier negotiations on a sound footing.
Assesses engineering plastics for housings and connectors in terms of cost and properties and calculates the effect of price movements on new equipment.
Assesses material alternatives and specifications in terms of cost and calculates the effect of price movements on the product portfolio.
