AOC announces today a price increase for its product portfolio sold in Europe, Middle East, Africa and India. The increase will be up to EUR 250 per ton for AOC’s Unsaturated Polyester, Vinyl Ester and Neoxil® products, subject to the specific product involved. This adjustment is in addition to the price increase announced earlier this month on 14 April 2026, bringing the total upward adjustment for April to EUR 550 per ton. It will take effect 1 May 2026, or as contracts permit.
The ongoing Middle East crisis continues to drive severe cost inflation, including sharp increases in raw material prices, transportation disruptions, and elevated fuel costs. This sustained volatility is materially affecting AOC’s cost structure and necessitates further price adjustments to ensure continued supply reliability.
“The current exceptional situation is beyond our control and requires us to align our pricing with the substantial cost increases we are experiencing,” said Jonathan Pantanowitz, Managing Director EMEA and India. “Our teams worldwide are working diligently to manage costs and ensure uninterrupted supply. We remain committed to transparent communication as conditions evolve and sincerely appreciate your continued partnership.”
