Adhesives manufacturing company to increase prices on products delivered January 1 or later.
Bostik, a leading global adhesive specialist for industrial, construction and consumer markets, announced today it will increase prices on U.S. industrial products as contracts allow for orders with a requested delivery date of January 1, 2020 or later.
This increase is a result of rising manufacturing and transportation costs, which have affected the cost of doing business across the adhesive industry. To date, Bostik has done its best to absorb the impact and minimize the disruption to customers. However, despite the company’s best efforts, it will need to implement price increases on orders with a delivery date of January 1 or later.
“On behalf of Bostik, we extend our appreciation to our customers for their understanding and continued business,” said Americas Senior Vice President, Jeffrey Merkt. “We also want to assure them of our continuing commitment to provide them with the highest quality products, technical expertise and dedicated customer service and that we will keep doing our best to minimize the cost impact on them as much as possible going forward.”
