Sachtleben has announced price increases for all grades of titanium dioxide products effective 1 October 2008. The increase will be EUR 80/tn in Europe and USD 150 per metric ton on US dollar based markets outside Europe. This price adjustment will partially balance the ongoing cost increases of raw materials, energy and transport. The increase applies to all titanium dioxide products from Duisburg, Germany and Pori, Finland. Customers in all market segments including man-made fibers, cosmetics, food, paper, plastics, packaging inks, paints and coatings, will be affected by this increase.
