Business Wire
Imerys North America Ceramics (Paris:NK) announces a price
increase for its air floated kaolin and ball clay products. The
increase is effective January 1, 2018, and is subject to provisions
in individual contracts. Prices will increase an average of 8
percent for kaolin and 4 percent for ball clay products. Actual
increases will depend on product grade and packaging type.
The price increase supports continual investments and rising
costs in mining, manufacturing, maintenance, quality systems, and
environmental compliance and sustainability. Customers purchasing
products on a delivered basis will see an additional adjustment due
to highly volatile and increasing ocean, truck, and rail freight
rates. Imerys continues to work with its logistics partners to
minimize this impact.
