Degussa-Hüls Increases Prices for Rubber Blacks in Europe


Degussa-Hüls AG, worldwide the second largest carbon black manufacturer with production sites in Europe, North America, Africa and Asia, announces a price increase of 50 (fifty) Euro per metric ton for its range of rubber blacks effective September 1st, 2000, in Europe.

A continuing combination of the weakness of the Euro and unprecedented high prices for crude oil and crude oil products is leading to substantially higher carbon black production costs. Degussa-Hüls AG is forced to pass on a part of these increased costs to the European market.
