These price changes are necessary to partially compensate for key raw material costs that continue to rise. Other raw materials remain at historically high levels. In addition, transportation and energy costs have increased.
If you have specific questions about these price increases, please contact your Taminco account representative.
Thank you for your ongoing business with Taminco.
Sincerely,
