AGY宣布提高无碱纱的价格

    4月9日AGY宣布提高其无碱纱的价格，并5月1日生效。该公司表示，提高价格是必需的以抵消上涨的成本。负责销售和营销的副总裁德鲁沃克说：“过去几年，我们目睹了原料、贵重金属和能源成本显著增长。与能源价格上涨相关的其他成本比如运输和包装也有所增长。鉴于当前的经济现实，我们再也不能抵消成本上升，需要调整价格。”
    价格上涨也将确保AGY继续在新产品和技术领域的投资能力。 沃克说:“尽管现在经济困难，我们一直在新产品开发和提高加工技术方面进行投资。然而成本的不断增加使调整必需的投资有了一定的困难。在这个时候价格上涨将确保我们能继续进行必要的资源投资，给我们的客户提供他们所期望的产品和服务。”

AGY announces price increase of E-glass yarns

AGY announced on April 9, 2010 that it is raising the price of its E-Glass yarns effective May 1, 2010. The company said the increase was necessary to offset rising costs. According to Drew Walker, AGY Vice President of Sales and Marketing, “Over the last several years, we have experienced significantly rising costs in raw materials, precious metals and energy. Other costs tied to the escalating price of energy - including transportation and packaging have also increased. Given these current economic realities, we have now reached a point where we can no longer offset rising costs and need to adjust our pricing.”

The price increase will also ensure AGY’s ability to continue investing in new products and technology. “Despite the difficult economic times,” said Walker, “We have always invested in new product development and more efficient processing technologies. However, today’s consistent and unrelenting cost increases have made it difficult to justify the necessary investment. A price increase at this time will ensure that we can continue to invest in the resources necessary to provide our customers with the products and services they have come to expect from AGY.”
