    4月9日AGY宣布提高其無(wú)堿紗的價(jià)格，并5月1日生效。該公司表示，提高價(jià)格是必需的以抵消上漲的成本。負(fù)責(zé)銷售和營(yíng)銷的副總裁德魯沃克說(shuō)：“過(guò)去幾年，我們目睹了原料、貴重金屬和能源成本顯著增長(zhǎng)。與能源價(jià)格上漲相關(guān)的其他成本比如運(yùn)輸和包裝也有所增長(zhǎng)。鑒于當(dāng)前的經(jīng)濟(jì)現(xiàn)實(shí)，我們?cè)僖膊荒艿窒杀旧仙枰{(diào)整價(jià)格。”
    價(jià)格上漲也將確保AGY繼續(xù)在新產(chǎn)品和技術(shù)領(lǐng)域的投資能力。 沃克說(shuō):“盡管現(xiàn)在經(jīng)濟(jì)困難，我們一直在新產(chǎn)品開發(fā)和提高加工技術(shù)方面進(jìn)行投資。然而成本的不斷增加使調(diào)整必需的投資有了一定的困難。在這個(gè)時(shí)候價(jià)格上漲將確保我們能繼續(xù)進(jìn)行必要的資源投資，給我們的客戶提供他們所期望的產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)。”

AGY announces price increase of E-glass yarns

AGY announced on April 9, 2010 that it is raising the price of its E-Glass yarns effective May 1, 2010. The company said the increase was necessary to offset rising costs. According to Drew Walker, AGY Vice President of Sales and Marketing, “Over the last several years, we have experienced significantly rising costs in raw materials, precious metals and energy. Other costs tied to the escalating price of energy - including transportation and packaging have also increased. Given these current economic realities, we have now reached a point where we can no longer offset rising costs and need to adjust our pricing.”

The price increase will also ensure AGY’s ability to continue investing in new products and technology. “Despite the difficult economic times,” said Walker, “We have always invested in new product development and more efficient processing technologies. However, today’s consistent and unrelenting cost increases have made it difficult to justify the necessary investment. A price increase at this time will ensure that we can continue to invest in the resources necessary to provide our customers with the products and services they have come to expect from AGY.”
