Imerys (Paris, France) Performance Additives Division (Imerys business in charge of talc, mica and wollastonite) will apply a substantial price increase, effective January 2019, or as contracts allow. This decision is driven by the significant rise in freight, energy, packaging, mining, and labor and maintenance costs in 2018, a trend which is expected to continue in 2019. 

In spite of intensive efficiency and cost control efforts, Imerys Performance Additives cannot continue to absorb these cost increases. It therefore has no alternative but to raise its prices in order to ensure the long-term sustainability of its business through continuous investment: renewing equipment, meeting increasingly stringent health, safety & environmental, quality and product stewardship standards, and supporting innovation. 

Imerys Performance Additives Division remains committed to offering world class customer service and quality products.
