DSM announces price increases

DSM has announced price increases effective throughout the EMEA region from November 1, 2007.

DSM Engineering Plastics said in a statement: ‘DSM Engineering Plastics has absorbed the impact of significant cost increases over an extended period of time. However, the magnitude of on-going cost increases for raw materials, energy, transportation and logistics make product price increases unavoidable. In order for DSM to achieve a suitable return on investments in technology and innovation it is necessary to off-set some of these cost increases through price rises.’

The price increases will apply across its range of products.
