Cabot Corporation to Increase Prices Globally for Products Sold by its Specialty Compounds Business
Concurrently Implementing Surcharge Adjustments
BOSTON – March 12, 2026 – Effective immediately or as contracts allow, Cabot Corporation (NYSE: CBT) will raise prices globally for products sold by its specialty compounds business. Price increases will be up to 20 percent, depending on the product and region. Furthermore, Cabot will implement an additional ongoing surcharge, with adjustments continuously evaluated as market conditions evolve.
This price increase and ongoing surcharge is necessitated due to supply chain disruptions related to the Middle East conflict as well as escalating transportation, energy, and raw material costs. These price adjustments will help ensure that Cabot remains a reliable, long-term supplier of high-quality black masterbatches and conductive compounds.
