Price rises forced on Lanxess
23/09/2008
Specialty chemicals company Lanxess is to raise its prices worldwide for leather chemicals with effect from October 1, 2008.
The increases, which vary according to region, are in the single and double digit percentage range, depending on the product. The leather business unit has said it sees itself forced to pass on to the market the increased costs of raw materials, energy and transport, which differ significantly from one product to the next.
Lanxess has also suggested that its position as one of the few suppliers worldwide to supply products needed in all stages of leather manufacture–including inorganic and synthetic tanning materials, preservatives and fatliquoring agents, dyestuffs and tanning and finishing auxiliaries–has made it especially sensitive to rising raw materials costs.
