ATLANTA, Sept. 17 (Korea Bizwire) — The CMC business unit of CP Kelco announced today it will increase pricing of its entire CMC product portfolio up to 10% globally, effective October 17, 2018, as contracts allow.
The price adjustments are driven by the continued increase in the cost of key raw materials used to produce CMC (also known as cellulose gum).
“We recognize that price increases are generally not welcome, but with this decision, the CMC unit of CP Kelco will be positioned to continue providing a sustainable supply of quality CMC products to the market over the long term,” said Victor Dean, SVP and General Manager of CMC at CP Kelco.
