Ahlstrom, a global leader in high performance fibre based materials, has announced that it will continue to adjust upwards prices for its filter media products for transportation filtration, as a consequence of the continued rise of raw materials prices.

The company says that prices of key raw materials used for the manufacturing of filter media have continued to rise steadily over recent months and although it has made strong efforts to mitigate the impact on its products, it is necessary to continue to adjust prices.

The price increase will affect filtration grades produced by Ahlstrom globally, sold for transportation filtration applications. Ahlstrom says the level of increase will depend on the markets, the constituents of the products, and the agreements in place. The increase range will vary up to 10 %. Specific details will be discussed with each customer individually by the appropriate business teams in the coming days.

Ahlstrom is a leading manufacturer of filtration materials for transportation, air and liquid filtration with 12 filtration production sites across four continents.
