TEMPORARY PRODUCT DISCONTINUATION 

*Kraft Towel Temporary Discontinuation effective
August 1st, 2022*

The North American towel and tissue market continues to be challenged with respect to escalating input costs, fiber availably and changing dynamics. These dynamics have created a supply challenge for a specific category at Kruger Products Away-from Home division necessitating a change in our portfolio for the remainder of 2022.

We will be rationalizing our portfolio of Kraft (brown) folded and roll towel products and providing a Bleached (White) 100% recycled alternative for the remainder of 2022. As a vertically integrated manufacturer of Bleached towel, we have significantly more control over the quality and availability of these products to ensure more consistent supply.

JUNE 2022

DIVERSEY CANADA 
In recent weeks, we have been faced with incremental inflation driven by the Ukraine / Russia crisis, for which we have seen a significant impact on energy, gas and oil prices. This is in addition to the previously announced supply chain constraints seen in the market, which was earlier communicated. With regards to our doing business with Russia, Diversey no longer imports any raw materials or products from Russia. We have also been faced with a situation where our suppliers are implementing price increases which have resulted in a major cost impact for us. As a result we are implementing a price increase of 8%.This will be effective June 1, 2022.

3M
As we proceed through 2022, we continue to face inflationary pressures which continue to challenge all of us. Pricing changes will be required to offset these pressures.
Effective June 1, 2022, we will be adjusting prices on selected products. Specific % and details to follow. 
 

MAY 2022

SPRAYWAY - We continue to be impacted by dynamic market conditions resulting in increased costs for components, raw materials, packaging, freight and labor. As a result, we will implement the following price adjustments for all orders shipped after May 1, 2022:
- $0.18 per unit price on aerosols, wipes and dispensers
- 7% increase on bulk items; 4x1 gallon, 5 gallon and Drum items.
 
OSTREM - Unfortunately, raw material costs continue to rapidly increase. Of particular concern are chlorine and caustic soda. Producers of these raw materials have increased prices twice in the last 3 months and we simply cannot absorb them. Items containing significant percentages of these ingredients will increase effective May 1, 2022. In addition to these raw materials, some surfactants, solvents and glycerine have also been greatly affected.

US CHEMICAL - We will be implementing a price increase of 8% on all equipment and 8% on Foodservice and Laundry products, ordered on or after May 15, 2022.

KRUGER - Kruger Products continues to experience cost escalation on several inputs including fibre (pulp and recycled fibres), corrugated and resin-based packaging, transportation, and other commodities.
