Huber Announces Price Increase For Ground Calcium Carbonate

Huber Engineered Materials, part of J.M. Huber Corporation, today announced a price increase for its industrial-grade calcium carbonate. The increase does not apply to Huber’s food- and USP-grades of calcium carbonate.

The increase is effective January 1, 2007, or as current contracts allow. Prices will increase seven to 10 percent – dependent upon the product grade, volume and form.

Increases in freight, energy, raw materials costs and rising investments in maintaining service levels cannot be offset by productivity improvements and processing efficiency, Huber officials said. Huber officials cite the need to pass on a portion of these increases to maintain a sustainable business capable of supplying customers with quality products and innovations.
