AOC announces price increase for United States and Canada
March, 2011 : Collierville, TN
AOC, LLC will increase prices on all products with shipments on and after April, 11, 2011.
The supply of several raw materials such as Propylene Glycol, Maleic Anhydride and Epoxy, among others, has been affected by unplanned outages which coupled with improved demand is compounding supply issues and resulting in raw material increases.
Also, geopolitical events in North Africa and the Middle East show no abatement for raw materials, therefore it is necessary for AOC to implement the following price increases by product type for the USA and Canadian markets:
|
|
USA
|
Canada
|
|
Unsaturated Polyester Resins gel coats, pigments and additives
|
$0.06/lb

CND$0.175/Kg
|

During these uncertain times, AOC continues to be well positioned to take care of our customer’s needs.
