Price Increase Notification - Effective 1 April 2025

We would like to inform you that, effective 1 April 2025, there will be a price adjustment across all categories. This change is necessary to mitigate ongoing economic challenges and market conditions that have significantly impacted our costs.

Despite our efforts to manage these challenges by streamlining operations, including reducing the number of branches, optimising headcount where possible, and reducing internal expenses, we have been unable to fully offset rising costs. As a result, this adjustment is essential to ensure the continued quality and sustainability of our products and services.
