ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Nalco, an Ecolab company (ECL), today implemented a price increase for
all Water and Process Services industry segments. Pricing for most Nalco
Water and Process Services programs will increase globally between five
and 15 percent, varying by country and product. This 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 these price increases.
"We continue to take actions to minimize the impact to our customers of
increasing raw material and service costs, however, it is necessary to
appropriately increase prices to help offset these ongoing cost
increases," said Timothy Mulhere, executive vice president and
president, Nalco Water and Process Services.
