Evonik announces global price increase for L-Threonine
The Health & Nutrition Business Unit of Evonik Industries AG (Germany), announces a global price increase for L-Threonine 98.5% feed grade.
Effective immediately, the company increases its L-Threonine net price for full truck and container loads by €0.19/kg for all non-contract customers. Depending on logistic costs and exchange rates the actual selling price may vary by world areas.
The main reasons are the continuing rise in fermentation costs driven by the sharp increase of key raw material prices in the last six months.
All existing commitments and supply contracts will be honored and are unaffected by this price increase.
Evonik is the only company in the world that produces and markets all four essential amino acids used in advanced animal nutrition: DL-Methionine, Biolys® (L-lysine), L-Threonine and L-Tryptophan. The company markets innovative products and services in more than one hundred countries and thus makes a valuable contribution to the cost-efficiency of its customers and to healthy and environment-friendly animal nutrition.
