Today we are announcing that we increase our prices. This increase will be an average of 10-14% for all activated carbon products with immediate effect for all new orders shipped as of January 1st, 2008.

The high global demand in combination with increased cost of raw materials, packaging, freight, and labor affected our business in 2007 and will continue to do so in 2008.

While past increases have helped to secure our environmental investments and meet part of the increased cost, we find ourselves forced to increase prices again in 2008.

We have attempted to fairly distribute the impact of this new increase where we have found our cost impacted most. Therefore not all our products are impacted equally.

Norit and the activated carbon industry are facing challenging times. We value the business you have entrusted to us and assure you that we continue to invest in helping you meet your needs for the future.
