Huber Engineered Materials Announces International Price Increase for kaolin clay
Announced a price increase across its entire "industrial specialties" kaolin clay portfolio in Asia Pacific, Latin America and Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA)
(Iberonews).- The increase is effective November
1, 2006, or as current contracts allow. Many kaolin
prices will increase significantly - dependent upon
the product grade, volume and form.
According to company officials, Huber Engineered
Materials has worked hard to improve its
productivity and processing efficiencies in an
effort to maintain cost competitive products and
services.
With raw materials, energy, transportation and
other costs continuing to rise, officials said the
price increase is necessary to offset these costs
while continuing to ensure on-time deliveries and
industry-leading customer service. In August, Huber
officials also announced a re-structuring of its
Macon kaolin manufacturing facility.
