AOC announces today a price increase for its product portfolio sold in Europe, Middle East, Africa and India. Increases will be notified to customers on a per product basis, intended to recover the increased costs AOC is experiencing, and will take effect 1 June 2026, or as contracts permit.
This price increase is driven by continued instability in the Middle East, which continues to significantly impact our costs. AOC is experiencing ongoing increases in raw material costs, disruptions in logistics, and higher energy and fuel expenses. These factors make this adjustment necessary for maintaining reliable supply to our customers.
"The current environment remains highly volatile and continues to present challenges that are outside of our direct influence. To ensure supply continuity and service levels, it is essential that we reflect these cost increases in our pricing”, said Jonathan Pantanowitz, Managing Director EMEA and India. “Our teams remain fully committed to supporting our customers and maintaining transparent communication as conditions evolve. We greatly value the continued trust and partnership of our customers."
