CCP announces price increases on composite products

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Cook Composites and Polymers will increase the price of unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester resins, gel coats, and ThermaCLEAN products $0.08 per pound, effective for shipments made on or after Sept. 7, the company reported this week.

The increase reflects a rise in feed stocks over the last several months, CCP said in a release.

“CCP will make every effort to diminish the impact of raw material advances where possible,” said Ken Moran, vice president of sales. “The direction of our operating strategies will continue toward seeking every opportunity to reduce expenses where we can.”
