Ahlstrom announces further price increase on filtration materials worldwide
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Ahlstrom Corporation PRESS RELEASE 01.07.2010 at 11.45
Ahlstrom, a global leader in high performance fiber-based materials, today
announced that it will continue to adjust upwards prices for its filter media
products for transportation filtration, as a consequence of the continued rise
of raw materials prices.
Prices of key raw materials used for the manufacturing of filter media have
continued to rise steadily over recent months and although Ahlstrom has made
strong efforts to mitigate the impact on its products, it is necessary to
continue to adjust prices.
The price increase will affect filtration grades produced by Ahlstrom globally,
sold for transportation filtration applications. The level of increase will
depend on the markets, the constituents of the products, and the agreements in
place. The increase range will vary up to 10 %. Specific details will be
discussed with each customer individually by the appropriate business teams in
the coming days.
Ahlstrom is a leading manufacturer of filtration materials for Transportation,
Air and Liquid filtration with 12 filtration production sites across four
continents.
