European Laminate Makers See Price Hikes

Paris, France, Dec. 13, 2010 -- Central European laminate flooring producers are increasing their efforts to raise their sales prices in reaction to the renewed upturn in raw material costs and the ensuing tightening of their margins, according to Euwid notice.

Several businesses announced mark-ups averaging 4-6% to take effect from the start of 2011 during the fourth quarter.

Even larger increases are in the pipeline for low-priced products and larger orders.
