International. PPG said it is implementing an 8-10 percent global price increase across all packaging coating technologies. The change took effect on October 1, 2018, or as permitted by contract, and applies to all packaging coating products globally.
The company explained that continued cost pressures for raw materials, freight, distribution and labor in each region required price adjustments.
"While PPG remains aggressive in its efforts to control expenses, this price increase is vital to maintaining our commitment to innovation and the development of next-generation coatings for the benefit of our customers and their end users," said Amy Ericson, ppG's senior vice president, packaging coatings.
PPG sales representatives will communicate additional price increase details to customers.
