Reichhold Announces Further Price Increases for European Composites Resin Products

Effective as of February 01, 2017

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Reichhold announced today price increases effective for all orders shipped on or after February 01, 2017, in Europe of 50 EUR/MT on all unsaturated polyester and vinyl esters resins.

Price increase applied to gelcoat products will be 100 EUR/MT due to even more significant cost escalation of specifically used raw materials.

All these increases are driven by continued rises in the cost of key raw materials and are in addition to the ones announced on December 02, 2016, and effective as of January 02, 2017.

We appreciate the understanding of our customers as we continue doing everything possible to limit the impact of rising costs and limited raw material availability on our product pricing and supply.
