Ahlstrom to hike pricing

Ahlstrom will increase pricing for its air and liquid filter media produced by the Transportation Filtration business area. The increases will be up to 10% depending on markets, products and the agreements in place.

"The price increases will be made to compensate for the continued high level of certain raw material costs, utilities-related inflation and regional currency impacts," Ahstrom said in a press statement.

The price increases will affect all transportation filtration products worldwide and become effective December 1, 2014.
