✦ Synopsis

prices for customers in Eastern Europe, Russia, the Middle East and Africa would be raised by $120 per tonne, while its Euro prices would remain unchanged for the time being. Clearly, this was a different approach to that of Huntsman Tioxide and Tronox.

Apparently, Cristal Global is still considering how to respond to these latest moves. Meanwhile on 17 March, Kronos declared that its prices for Eastern Europe, Russia, the Middle East and Africa would increase by €80 per tonne or by $120 per tonne (roughly equivalent increments), with effect from 1 April 2008.
