Tarkett Raising Resilient Prices 6%

Houston, TX, April 12, 2010 – Tarkett USA Inc. said it will increase prices 6% on all of its commercial resilient tile lines, including Azrock Achieve, Advance and Asset as well as all Expressions tile. This price increase is effective June 1.

“Efficient manufacturing as well as cost-cutting measures and internal expense reductions have allowed us to absorb raw material and energy cost increases,” said Gilles de Beaumont, president of Tarkett Commercial Tile.

“However, the escalating costs of raw material, transportation and energy have forced us to pass on a portion of these costs with this current price increase on our commercial tile lines.”
