09 November 2004 - DuPont Glass Laminating Products

DuPont Glass Laminating Solutions has announced today a price increase of $0.29 per square meter (EUR 0.24 per square meter) on all grades of Butacite polyvinyl butyral interlayer. The new pricing will be applied to supply agreements effective 1 January 2005.

'Our investments in facilities and research have resulted in improved offerings to meet the changing needs of the automotive and construction industries. These offerings create significant value added opportunities and productivity improvements for our customers and the glass industries' end users,' stated Luigi Robbiati, Vice President of Glass Laminating Solutions.

'This price increase is necessary to continue investing in our business. Raw material prices have escalated rapidly at a time when demand for our products is exceeding supply. Reinvestment economics must be improved to insure our future ability to reliably supply and service our customers in a growing market.'
