Forbo Raising Linoleum Prices

Hazleton, PA, September 20, 2007--Linoleum maker Forbo Flooring Systems said it will raise prices 4% to 6% as of Dec. 1  for  flooring and service products throughout North America.

Denis Darragh, general manager of North American operations states, said the increases are necessary to offset higher costs for raw materials and transportation.
