Imerys Ceramics Announces Price Increase for Ball Clay and Kaolin Products in North America

Imerys Ceramics North America announced today that it will increase prices up to 15% on all of its ball clay and kaolin products manufactured in the United States, effective January 1, 2015, subject to any provisions in individual contracts. The price increase supports investment in manufacturing, quality systems, maintenance, environmental compliance, and new product development.

Customers purchasing products on a delivery basis will also see a cost increase due to highly volatile and increasing truck and rail freight rates. Imerys continues to work with its freight partners to minimize this impact as much as possible.
