Compass Minerals to Increase Prices on Magnesium Chloride-Based Roadway Maintenance Products
Posted on: Monday, 9 June 2008, 09:01 CDT
North American Salt Company and Sifto Canada Corp., subsidiaries of Compass Minerals (NYSE: CMP), will increase prices on liquid magnesium chloride-based roadway maintenance products by an average of $6 per short ton, or 15 percent to 30 percent, effective with shipments to all U.S. and Canadian customers on August 1, 2008.
This pricing will apply to DustGard(R), the company's all-natural soil stabilization product, and FreezGard(R), Compass Minerals' premium highway deicing product. Both magnesium chloride-based products are produced at the company's solar evaporation facility in Ogden, Utah. This price increase will help offset rising transportation costs and support the company's previously announced multi-phased investment plan to create additional production capacity.
