Price Increase Notification
To our valued customers,
We continue to be inundated with increases from our suppliers. We are pushing back as much as possible, questioning these increases and hoping for a light at the end of the tunnel. Besides the resin market increases, we have been hearing about increased transportation costs, including freight, pallet, corrugated, paper, container and drum costs. We strive to buy ahead of future increases, however we are currently maxed out for space. Please contact your sales representative or myself (Nicole Gale, ngale@cabotss.com) to discuss pricing or any other issues. We can provide manufacturers’ letters that explain these increases in more detail if needed.
Please note:
- The order presented is from future (top) to past (bottom).
- New updates since our last increase letter are in orange.
- Updates before June 2021 have been removed.
