For the second time this year, Trelleborg Wheel Systems has increased the price of its tyres in Europe due to an increase in raw material costs.

The industrial tyre business unit of Trelleborg Wheel systems will increase its prices by 7% to 10%.

Roberto Zampieri, European marketing manager for Trelleborg, says the company has tried to keep prices down. "Numerous actions have been undertaken to streamline and cut internal costs. However, due to frantic market conditions, we have had to take this action," he says.

Last month, Forkliftaction.com News (Forkliftaction.com News #378) reported on Solideal's third price increase of the year.
