The increase between 5 and 10% will be immediately effective and concern the Asia-Pacific market. Variable increases are expected for the various products in those countries that experienced a significant devaluation of their local currency.

The senior VP of Industrial Water Technologies Edward Connors states that «Solenis is trying to control costs through the improvement of processes in order to provide high added value and the innovative solutions that our customers are waiting for».
