There was only a tense situation with basic chemicals in the fall, but this has eased again to date and fortunately did not result in a production stop. A change of course in purchasing has therefore not been necessary so far, but we have made greater use of second and third-party suppliers than usual and increased our stocks in certain areas.<\/p><p style=\"line-height: 170%;\"><b>S. Kl\u00f6den: <\/b>As the KSG Group, we are generally very well positioned here and always have a backup in case the worst comes to the worst. Apart from this, however, we are also affected by a significant cost increase in the high seven-figure range for raw materials - as in the energy sector - which will continue to affect us beyond 2022. Unfortunately, the electricity price brake will not bring any savings compared to 2022, but will lead to a further increase in energy costs.<\/p><h2>In your experience, what role do technological innovations play in overcoming crises?<\/h2><div>\u00a0<\/div><p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: var( --e-global-color-primary );\">S.<\/span><b>\u00a0Kl\u00f6den: <\/b>As the energy crisis last year and the coronavirus pandemic over the past two years have shown, technology and innovation play a very important role here. The keyword here is digitalization. This is because - as we have experienced for ourselves - it goes hand in hand with numerous opportunities for communication and interaction. For example, when there were still travel restrictions, that didn't stop us from purchasing a machine from the Asian region.

A lot has also changed in the workforce. Among other things, we attribute this to the spatial restructuring as part of the energy-saving measures.
