Mumbai, India and Marietta, USA – March 22, 2019: Effective May 1, 2019, Birla Carbon will increase base prices for all carbon black markets in North America by $170/MT. All shipments made on or after this date are subject to the price increase. Adjustments for customers with supply agreements will be implemented as agreements are renewed.
Birla Carbon is committed to serving its customers in every region of the world and making investments that allow it to continue to do so. This increase is made necessary by capital requirements and increased operating cost associated with meeting emission limits in the United States and the increasing cost of compliance elsewhere in North America.
Your business with Birla Carbon is valued and your continued support is appreciated. Please contact your Birla Carbon representative should you have questions regarding this price change announcement.
