KaMin and CADAM Announce Price Increase Effective December 2026

In a significant development within the minerals industry, KaMin and CADAM have disclosed plans to raise prices on their kaolin products by as much as 9.5%. This price adjustment, aimed at mitigating the impact of ongoing inflationary pressures, will take effect on December 1, 2026. The increase will vary depending on specific grades of kaolin and the regions in which these products are sold.

The companies noted that the adjustments come amid escalating costs across various sectors including mining, raw material procurement, and labor supply. Energy prices have surged considerably, and disruptions in key shipping lanes have exacerbated the situation. As a result, shipping times have lengthened, fuel prices have climbed, and insurance premiums have surged, all of which have intensified freight-related expenses, adding to the overall cost structure of their products.

To combat these mounting pressures, KaMin and CADAM have prioritized efficiency improvements and cost-control strategies. Despite these measures, the companies acknowledged that inflationary market trends have outpaced their savings, necessitating this price alteration to maintain the quality of their products and ensure reliable supply to customers.

Customers can expect to receive direct communications detailing their specific price changes, which may include adjustments in logistics or handling fees that could necessitate further increases or additional surcharges. For those seeking more information, local business managers have been designated as points of contact, and inquiries can also be directed to the KaMin email address provided in official communications.
