ART Adjusts Pricing to Reflect Higher Input Costs
08 Novembro 2022 - 10:41AM
Advanced Refining Technologies LLC (ART), the joint venture of U.S.
specialty chemicals and materials company W. R. Grace & Co. and
U.S.-based energy company Chevron (NYSE:CVX), today announced
global price increases for its hydroprocessing catalysts amid
rapidly rising raw materials and energy costs. Prices will increase
up to 15% based on product type and specific customer commitments.
"The demand for high-quality hydroprocessing catalyst technology
remains extremely high as demand and margins for refined products
continue to strengthen through the end of 2022 and into 2023," said
Nathan Ergonul, ART Managing Director. "The pricing actions we are
taking today are necessary to offset record inflationary pressure
while continuing our commitment to offering industry-leading
catalyst performance and expert-level technical service. These
actions are essential to continue creating significant incremental
profit for our customers."
For hydroprocessing catalysts, the industry is experiencing
unprecedented cost increases for raw materials such as alumina,
caustic soda and acids. Freight and logistics costs are also
higher, affecting the cost of delivering finished premium
catalysts. Due partly to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, energy
prices today are at or near historic highs, significantly affecting
manufacturing hydroprocessing catalyst costs.
ART continues its efforts to reduce costs, increase
productivity, reinvest in manufacturing reliability and capacity
and drive operational efficiencies.
