Reichhold announced today price increases effective for all orders shipped on or after February 15, 2017 in Europe of 150 EUR/MT on all unsaturated polyester, vinyl esters resins and gelcoat products.

All these increases are driven by continued rises in the cost of key raw materials and are in addition to the ones announced on December 02, 2016 and on January 04, 2017.

We appreciate the understanding of our customers as we continue doing everything possible to limit the impact of rising costs and limited raw material availability on our product pricing and supply.
