The mandatory price increase, effective April 1st 2012, is will compensate for an ongoing upward trend in raw material costs, which the company said previous productivity programs and price adjustments have not been able to offset.
The main products involved are Rousselot pig and bovine gelatine, in addition to collagen peptides.
The company, who supply collagen and gelatine to the food and pharmaceutical industries, said the increase will vary across grades, product lines and across regions, with the exact level of increase communicated by local sales representatives.
