Reichhold Announces Price Increase for European Composites Industry

Effective as of June 8, 2015

DURHAM, N.C.--()--Reichhold announced today a price increase effective for all orders shipped on or after June 8, 2015, in Europe of 80 EUR/MT on all unsaturated polyester resins, vinyl ester resins and ancillary products.

This increase is necessary since raw material costs have exceeded projections at the time of the April 1, 2015, price announcement.

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.
