Ordering

Yes, you can order as a consumer or business customer. As a business customer, you may enter your VAT identification number (e.g. DE123456789), if available.

Minimum order quantities are the smallest packaging units that are available for each product.

Orders can only be placed for the packaging units as specified (carton, pallet). The goods are pre-packed in these packaging units in our warehouse. Due to logistical reasons it is not possible to order other quantities than specified

We do not provide price lists or catalogues. You can find all our products in our online store. Prices and packaging units are valid as specified in our shop.

If you are not logged in the prices are displayed inclusive VAT. If you are logged in as a business customer with a valid VAT identification number or a non-EU country, the prices will be displayed exclusive VAT.

We cannot accept orders by e-mail, fax, mail or telephone for logistical and data protection reasons. We ask you to place your order directly in our online shop.

The matching closures are automatically supplied and are already included in the price. For certain closures colours can be selected freely within the packaging unit.

You can enter a deviate delivery address during the ordering process (step 2). To do this, remove the checkmark from "Use billing address as delivery address" and enter your delivery address.

For domestic deliveries (Austria) we are legally obliged to charge VAT. Deliveries to business customers in other EU member states are subject to the rules for intra-community EU shipments and no VAT is charged. To enable this, enter your VAT identification number (e.g. DE123456789) during registration. If you want to add or change your VAT identification number after registration, please contact our service team.
