Honeywell Announces Price Increases on Genetron © Refrigerants in the Middle
East
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, January 29, 2008. Honeywell Fluorine Products Europe
B.V. announced today a price increase for its GENETRON® refrigerants in the
Middle East and Africa. All prices for bulk and packaged deliveries will
increase by 7 percent as of March 1st, 2008 or as soon as agreement permits.
There will be no pre-buy period.
The price increases are necessary to offset the increases in costs of raw
material such as sulphur and hydrofluoric acid, energy and freight that the
Fluorine Business is incurring from its suppliers. "Low prices on
hydro-fluoro-carbons (HFCs) in general and increasing cost have led to
unsustainable margins across the Fluorine Business" says Rene Mueller,
Managing Director Fluorines Europe, Middle East, Africa and India
(EMEAI).
