Price Increase on Coconut Shell-Based Activated Carbons,
effective April 1, 2025
Dear Valued Customers,
Effective April 1, 2025, Jacobi will be implementing a price increase of 15-20% across all coconut shell-based activated carbons, depending on product-grade. This adjustment is necessitated by another surge in raw material costs during the past 3 months, which regrettably leaves us with no choice but to revise our pricing structure.
We have diligently explored various avenues to mitigate the price increase. However, despite our best efforts and our extensive network and strategic sourcing throughout Asia, the escalating costs incurred have exceeded our ability to absorb them entirely.
The root cause of the cost increase is related to the limited availability of charcoal and shell in a large part of Asia and the high demand for Carbon. Please read about it in our Sustainability letter.
Fortunately, Jacobi is best positioned to source sufficient volumes of charcoal across Asia to secure supply. However, this comes at a cost.
We want to assure you that every effort is being made to streamline our operations and minimize any adverse effects on our customers. Our dedicated teams in sourcing, production, and logistics are working to ensure uninterrupted supply chain operations.
We deeply appreciate your continued support and understanding during this period of adjustment. Rest assured, we remain steadfast in our commitment to providing you with the highest quality products and services despite the prevailing challenges.
The new prices will be applied with all shipments as of April 1, 2025. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this price adjustment, please do not hesitate to reach out to your dedicated account manager or our customer service team. We are here to assist you in any way we can.
Thank you once again for your ongoing partnership and trust in Jacobi.
Sincerely,
Remko Goudappel, CEO, Jacobi Group
