WACKER announces price increase for resins, dispersions, and dispersible polymer powders

WACKER announced that it will increase prices for resins, dispersions, and dispersible polymer powders sourced from its production sites in Europe and the United States by up to 15%, effective June 1, 2026, or as permitted under existing customer contracts. The company stated that the price adjustments are necessary to offset rising raw material and logistics costs and to ensure continued delivery of high product quality, technological innovation, technical support, and customer service, while also supporting future growth investments across its key markets.

According to WACKER, the recent conflict in the Middle East has created major disruptions in global commodity markets, resulting in sharp increases in energy, raw material, and transportation costs. The company noted that its global polymers business has been particularly impacted by these developments, making the pricing action necessary to maintain operational stability and long-term supply capabilities.
