MACON, Ga., Nov. 19, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KaMin LLC announces that it will increase prices for kaolin clay products for global industrial markets 4-6% effective January 1, 2013, or as contracts allow. "This price increase is necessary in order to recover cost increases we have experienced in transportation as well as manufacturing, where we have seen escalation in mining, packaging and chemicals," stated Warren McPhillips, Vice President of Commercial. KaMin continues to work diligently on productivity projects and to manage our cost base to offset these inflationary pressures. However, these increases are necessary to recover these additional costs, and to enable us to meet our commitment to create the greatest long term value for our industrial customers through continued investments in people and technology.
