WACKER Group announced that effective May 1, 2025, or as customer contracts allow, the group will raise its prices for dispersions and dispersible polymer powders sourced from its production sites in Europe and the United States. Prices for these products will be increased by up to 5%. This measure has been necessitated by rising costs for raw materials and logistics. The group reports that the price adjustments will enable the Polymers division to continue providing customers with high product quality, technological innovations, best-in-class customer service and technical support, along with supporting investment to secure the capability for future growth across focus markets.
