Mannington Commercial Ups Prices on Luxury Vinyl

Salem, NJ, August 28, 2007 – Mannington Commercial will increase prices by 3% to 5% on Nature’s Paths Luxury Vinyl products effective with shipments made after October 1.

“We continue to experience increases in raw material prices, and have added pressures from recent transportation costs,” said Jack Ganley, president of commercial business at Mannington.

“We have foregone any price increases since entering the category over two years ago, even though the rest of the industry instituted an increase in 2006. At this time, unfortunately, these significant cost increases necessitate our bringing a price increase to the market."
