Troy Corporation has announced an increase in prices of Micropel OBPA-based antimicrobial products by up to 9% effective May 15, 2013, or as contracts allow. This price increase is necessary due to escalation in the cost of raw materials, energy, labor, packaging, transportation, and worldwide regulatory compliance, as well as Troy’s continual investment in new production capacity to meet global demand.
