Price Revision Announcement for Polyethylene Pipes and Related Products

On July 18, 2025, Sekisui Chemical Co., Ltd. declared a price increase for specific products in its Environmental and Lifeline Company sector. The decision stems from rising costs associated with raw materials, logistics, labor, and energy. Moreover, the company also faces heightened expenses related to the maintenance and upgrading of manufacturing facilities.

Despite ongoing efforts to rationalize operations and implement structural reforms aimed at cost efficiency, the company has reached a point where these self-driven improvements have been exhausted. As a result, Sekisui Chemical has decided to raise the sales prices of the following products:

Affected Products and Price Increase

1. Water Supply Polyethylene Pipes and Fittings: Prices will increase by more than 15%.
2. Cross-linked Polyethylene Pipes with Insulation and Related Products: Prices will rise by more than 10%.

Effective Date of Price Increases

- The revised prices for water supply polyethylene pipes and fittings will take effect from shipments dated April 1, 2026 (Wednesday).
- For cross-linked polyethylene pipes with insulation and related products, the increases will apply to shipments from August 21, 2025 (Thursday).

This strategic move reflects the company's commitment to ensuring the sustainability of its operations while continuing to provide quality products to its customers. Sekisui Chemical acknowledges the challenges posed by the fluctuating cost environment but remains dedicated to maintaining its reputation for reliable and innovative solutions in the market.
