AGY宣布提高無堿紗的價格

    4月9日AGY宣布提高其無堿紗的價格，并5月1日生效。該公司表示，提高價格是必需的以抵消上漲的成本。負責銷售和營銷的副總裁德魯沃克說：“過去幾年，我們目睹了原料、貴重金屬和能源成本顯著增長。與能源價格上漲相關的其他成本比如運輸和包裝也有所增長。鑒于當前的經濟現實，我們再也不能抵消成本上升，需要調整價格?！?
    價格上漲也將確保AGY繼續在新產品和技術領域的投資能力。 沃克說:“盡管現在經濟困難，我們一直在新產品開發和提高加工技術方面進行投資。然而成本的不斷增加使調整必需的投資有了一定的困難。在這個時候價格上漲將確保我們能繼續進行必要的資源投資，給我們的客戶提供他們所期望的產品和服務?！?

AGY announces price increase of E-glass yarns

AGY announced on April 9, 2010 that it is raising the price of its E-Glass yarns effective May 1, 2010. The company said the increase was necessary to offset rising costs. According to Drew Walker, AGY Vice President of Sales and Marketing, “Over the last several years, we have experienced significantly rising costs in raw materials, precious metals and energy. Other costs tied to the escalating price of energy - including transportation and packaging have also increased. Given these current economic realities, we have now reached a point where we can no longer offset rising costs and need to adjust our pricing.”

The price increase will also ensure AGY’s ability to continue investing in new products and technology. “Despite the difficult economic times,” said Walker, “We have always invested in new product development and more efficient processing technologies. However, today’s consistent and unrelenting cost increases have made it difficult to justify the necessary investment. A price increase at this time will ensure that we can continue to invest in the resources necessary to provide our customers with the products and services they have come to expect from AGY.”
