MANCHESTER, Conn., Oct. 3, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lydall Performance Materials, a division of Lydall, Inc. (NYSE: LDL), today announced a general price increase effective with orders shipped on or after January 1, 2015.

The successful implementation of Lean Six Sigma practices has allowed Lydall to absorb cost increases over the last two years without passing those costs to most of our customers through price increases. Lydall remains committed to the principles of Lean Six Sigma and will continue to focus on cost and efficiency improvements to keep price increases to a minimum while improving the quality and service levels our customers rely on. 

Customers will be contacted by their Account Manager following this announcement to discuss the specifics of this increase and implementation with current pricing agreements.
