DuPont Titanium Technologies Announces a Price Increase for Titanium Dioxide Grades in EMEA Region

Wilmington, Delaware (ots/PRNewswire)

DuPont Titanium
Technologies today announced a price increase in Europe, the Middle
East and Africa for all DuPont(TM) titanium dioxide grades.
Effective April 1, 2005, or as permitted by contract, prices for
all titanium dioxide grades in Europe will increase 110 Euros per
tonne and 150 US Dollars per tonne in the Middle East and Africa.
These price increases are necessary due to the need to improve
reinvestment economics required for capital funding to support
DuPont's growth. These increases are also supported by macro-economic
strength driving very strong global TiO2 demand. At current capacity
utilization rates, this action will assure the recovery of our TiO2
business which ultimately benefits our customers.
Other regional increases will be announced directly within the
local regions.
