Kemira, a global chemicals company serving customers in water intensive industries, announces a 5-15% price increase for most process and functional chemicals used by pulp and paper customers in the Americas region.
The price increases will be effective on shipments made on or after March 1, 2021 or as contracts allow. Rapidly escalating costs for raw materials, energy, packaging, and transportation make this price adjustment necessary.
Kemira remains committed to adding value to our customers’ operations by providing the highest quality products and services despite the challenging global conditions. We also continue to invest in digital technologies and the development of new products and functionalities. We are focused on increasing our operational efficiency to keep our cost of production highly competitive and to optimize our service levels to our customers.
