Houston, TX – Kraton Corporation announces an energy surcharge increase of 250€/MT for all HSBC products produced in Europe. This action is driven by the recent and unprecedented price increases for Natural Gas, Electricity and CO2 certificates, which is substantially affecting the production cost in our HSBC plant in Berre, France. This surcharge will be effective November 1, 2021, and/or subject to the terms of any applicable contracts and obligations.
