Wellman Inc announced that, effective with December 1, 2007 shipments, it will increase the price of all Fortrel polyester staple fiber products by 3 cents/lb.
Steve Ates, Vice President Sales and Marketing, made the announcement noting, “This price increase is necessary due to the rising cost of Ethylene Glycol, a primary raw material used in the manufacture of polyester staple fiber, and continued pressure from rising oil prices and energy costs.”
Wellman remains committed to providing the high level of quality products and support services that our customers have come to expect.
Wellman Inc manufactures and markets high-quality polyester products, including Fortrel brand polyester fibers and PermaClear and EcoClear brand PET (polyethylene terephthalate) packaging resins.
