Kuraray announces its decision to increase the prices of KURALON™, a polyvinyl alcohol fiber (PVA), and KURALON™ K-II, as well as that of polyester staple fiber, for shipments commencing January 1, 2022.
In addition to the significant increase in the cost of key raw materials and utilities resulting from a rise in crude oil prices, Kuraray’s earnings continue to experience pressure from soaring logistics and manufacturing costs associated with increased costs for facility maintenance and renewal, which are beyond the scope of cost absorption through the Company’s internal efforts.
Under these circumstances, Kuraray has decided to implement the price revisions set out below to improve profitability and to maintain a steady supply.
