Belgium (BUSINESS WIRE) - IMERYS Pigments for Paper raises prices for all kaolin products effective immediately.
Kaolin manufactured in the USA, Brazil, Australia and the UK, including calcined products, will increase in price by 10 to 15 %. In addition to this announced increase, energy & transportation surcharges will apply, around the world, for kaolin products in all forms.

Despite Imerys' continual improvement programs to mitigate these effects, price increases and surcharges are necessary to achieve a sustainable pigment business.
