Clariant's Paper Business Raises Product Prices

Clariant's Paper Business Unit, Switzerland, a supplier of optical brighteners, colorants, and chemicals to the paper industry, announced price increases across its product portfolio. The adjustments, which take effect immediately, are necessary to recover significant on-going cost inflation in raw materials, labor, energy, and transportation, the company noted.

Price increases of 8% will affect all product groups and as contracts allow. Selected individual products will experience higher increases due to the severe impact of their particular raw material cost increase. Customers will be contacted individually regarding the specifics of the price increases, Clariant added.
