Orion Engineered Carbons announced that effective for all shipments made on or after April 1, 2022, or as permitted by customer contracts, the company is changing its carbon black oil surcharge and introducing a natural gas charge on all rubber carbon black products manufactured in Europe.

 

Due to changes in feedstock availability, quality and logistics, the company considers it necessary to adjust its carbon black oil surcharge to reflect actual cost developments. In addition, given the volatile cost situation in the natural gas supply, Orion is introducing a natural gas charge for all rubber carbon black produced in Orion’s European plants.

 

These actions are required to continue to remain a reliable, long-term global supplier of high-quality goods and services to our customers as we safely and sustainably manufacture our rubber carbon black products.
