Forbo Raising Prices in June on Linoleum, Vinyl

Hazleton, PA, April 27, 2010--Forbo Flooring Systems is increasing prices 3-6% on its linoleum, vinyl, and adhesive products, effective June 1.

Pricing will not increase on Forbo’s Flotex, Coral, Wall Base, or welding rod products. The price increase is due to the rising cost of raw materials, the company said.

June 1, 2010 also signals the end of Forbo’s “Flooring Stimulus Plan,” a discount program on vinyl products developed to revitalize stalled projects and put installers back to work.
