Update 4.4.2024
Shortage of propane deliveries on Monday 8.4.2024
Teollisuusliitto has declared a political support strike for Friday 5.4.2024, affecting the employees of both our filling plants in Riihimäki and Oulu. As a result, no gas cylinders will be filled nor Monday's deliveries be collected on Friday, April 5, 2024. Therefore, there will be shortages in propane deliveries on Monday, April 8, 2024.
Due to political strikes, our Riihimäki filling plant has not received any propane raw material deliveries since March 10, 2024. So far, we have been able to supply propane normally thanks to our large storage which was reserved for the summer season. However, now our storage is starting to run low, which means shortages in the availability of some propane products.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the situation. We are doing everything we can to minimize the impact of the strike on our deliveries and will keep our customers informed of any changes.
