EP Minerals, LLC, a global leader in industrial minerals and engineered materials, announced today that it implemented a 3-8% price increase on December 1, 2018, across all grades of diatomaceous earth, perlite, clay and cellulose products, or will do so as existing contracts allow. The increase will be applied in all regions globally. The price increase is necessary to offset inflationary pressure in the business with the rise in costs related to ore, packaging, labor, and energy.
