Flint Group Packaging Inks Announces North American Price Increase Across All Product Lines
PLYMOUTH, Mich. - October 31, 2018 - Flint Group Packaging Inks confirmed the implementation of a North American price increase to alleviate raw material and freight cost increases.
Regretfully, as of Nov. 15 2018, the price increase will be active for all Flint Group Packaging Inks products sold in the U.S. and Canada. The progressively challenging trading environment is forcing Flint Group to look carefully at its cost base, ensuring the sustainability of supply for all our valued customers.
The recent trade tariffs imposed by the U.S. Government are soon to rise from 10% to 25%, a cost Flint Group cannot bear alone. Additionally, the market has seen significant cost increases in raw materials and freight across the North American region, which place further pressure on Flint Group’s cost base.
Doug Aldred, President Packaging Inks & Resins notes, “As stated in December 2017, we continue to deploy significant capital to efficiency projects in order to mitigate as many headwinds as possible; however, the combined impact of the tariffs, raw material and freight inflation has become untenable. We will continue to drive all cost mitigation initiatives with rigor and tenacity, protecting our valued customers from further increases as much as feasibly possible.”
Your local sales representative will be in touch shortly to discuss a tariff surcharge and price increase for the affected products.
