Elizabethtown, KY (August 1, 2014) – Due to the continuing cost escalation of Azo intermediates and the raw materials used to produce Azo pigments, specialty pigments, flush colors and water dispersions, Flint Group Pigments has announced that they must increase prices on these products.

'We continue to mitigate raw material cost increases as much as we can,' notes Ronald Gallas, Global Director of Sales for Flint Group Pigments, 'but, unfortunately, these current trends make this price increase necessary.'

The new pricing is effective globally and will take effect for all orders placed on or after September 2, 2014, subject to existing contracts or agreements.
