ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nalco Champion, an Ecolab company (ECL), today announced a price
increase for customers in all its segments. Pricing for most Nalco
Champion products and programs will increase globally between 8 and 15
percent, varying by country and product. This price increase will be
effective Nov. 15, 2018.
This price adjustment is driven by notable increases in key raw material
costs, combined with global inflationary factors in labor and freight.
Nalco Champion sales personnel will contact customers directly to
discuss the impact of these increases.
"Rising oil prices and a strong economy are driving the inflationary
pressures in our industry,” said Darrell Brown, executive vice president
and president, Nalco Champion. “We are continuing to take steps to
optimize our cost structure and make our operations more efficient, but
price increases are necessary to ensure our ability to fund the product
innovation and service expertise that continually deliver value to our
customers.”
