Clariant’s Masterbatches Business increases prices
Muttenz, 23 February 2011 – The Masterbatches Business Unit of Clariant, a leading masterbatches player globally, announces global price increases for most of its products.The price adjustments are necessary to compensate for rising oil prices and significant cost increases for all masterbatch- relevant raw materials.

In order to finance future investments and improvements to our supply chain we have no alternative but to increase prices," comments Hans Bohnen, Head of Clariant`s Masterbatch Business Unit.
The price increases will become effective immediately or as contracts allow. Clariant customers will be contacted individually regarding the specifics of the price increase as they apply to their products and regions.
