DAYTON, OHIO (26 June 2006) Day International has announced a price increase for its Varn pressroom chemical line effective June 16, 2006. The increase will apply to virtually all Varn product categories: fountain solutions, web conditioners, washes, coatings, and specialty products. The increase is due to the continuing rise in the cost of materials, energy and transportation. Jeff Pieper, Senior Vice President of Day's Chemical Products Division said, “Day International continues to pursue cost reduction and improved efficiency throughout our operations, however, we are unable to fully offset the cost increases caused by current economic forces and higher energy costs. We appreciate the understanding and support of our dealers and users of Varn products during these difficult times.”
