Ahlstrom, Finland, has announced a price increase for its air and liquid filter media produced by the Transportation Filtration business area. The price increases will be made to compensate for the continued high level of certain raw material costs, utilities-related inflation, and regional currency impacts, the company noted.

 

The price increases will affect all transportation filtration products worldwide and will be effective starting December 1. The increases will be up to 10% depending on markets, products, and the agreements in place.

 

Air and liquid filter media manufactured by the Transportation Filtration business area are used in air applications including heavy duty and automotive air intake and cabin air as well as liquid applications for heavy duty and automotive oil and fuel. Ahlstrom's Transportation Filtration business area has production sites in six countries.
