Kemira, Finland, a global chemicals company serving customers in water intensive industries, announces a price increase for its polymer product line across all European countries. The adjustment will be effective Jan. 1, 2017, or as customer contracts allow.

The increase will be an average of 5%, depending on the specific customer segment and applications, and can differ for specific product types in selected geographies. This adjustment is necessary due to overall increased production and supply costs, the company noted.
