ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Nalco, an Ecolab company (NYSE: ECL), today implemented a price increase
for all water and process services industry segments. Pricing for most
Nalco Water and Process Services division programs will increase
globally between five and 15 percent, varying by country and product.
The price increase is effective immediately or as existing contracts
allow.
The price adjustments are driven by the significant increase in key raw
materials costs, combined with other global inflationary factors such as
rising energy and transportation costs. Nalco sales engineers are
contacting customers directly to discuss the impact of these increases.
"We continue to take actions to minimize the impact of increasing raw
material costs, but it is necessary to appropriately increase prices to
help offset these ongoing cost hikes," said David Flitman, executive
vice president and president, Water and Process Services.
