According to Pierre Colle, Managing Director, these further price increases are driven by continued rise in raw material cost: "We continue to be faced by unrelenting price escalation of our polycarbonate base resin triggered by severe cost rises in the base components. It seems obvious that this cannot be absorbed through productivity improvements and moderate price adjustments any longer. The increases are necessary to support our commitment to our customers to be a strong and reliable supplier of polycarbonate sheets."
