Kemira will implement a price increase of up to 20 % for selected paper colorants in Europe, Middle-East and Africa. The adjustment will be immediately implemented or as the existing contracts allow. The price adjustment is a result of increases in all major cost drivers including raw materials, energy and transportation.
Kemira has continuously rationalized operations and reduced fixed costs, but has now reached a point when a price increase for selected colorants is necessary to secure our position as a strong paper chemicals supplier.
