Wacker Chemie (WCH GY) to increase polymer prices, as of April 1st

• Military conflict in the Middle East has led to significant disruption in global supply chains, resulting in significantly increased costs for raw materials and logistics
• WACKER will therefore significantly raise its prices for dispersions, resins and dispersible polymer powders effective April 1, 2026

Wacker Chemie's decision to raise polymer prices reflects the ongoing disruptions in global supply chains, particularly due to recent military conflicts. This price increase could indicate heightened costs for manufacturing and construction sectors, likely exerting upward pressure on inflation and affecting related commodity markets.
