Global additives and specialty ingredients company Ashland is implementing pricing actions across its Life Sciences, Intermediates, Personal Care, and Specialty Additives portfolios worldwide. 

 

This is in response to ongoing volatility in energy markets, raw material costs, and logistics disruptions stemming from the conflict in the Middle East.

 

The company emphasized that it is taking “proactive actions across procurement, supply chain and operations to actively manage costs where possible, while adjusting pricing to maintain reliable supply to customers under current market conditions.”

 

Pricing changes will vary by product and region, reflecting “local market dynamics, contractual terms and individual customer requirements,” the company said, adding that it will continue to “closely monitor market conditions and adjust pricing and actions as market dynamics evolve.”
