Axalta Coating Systems Implements Titanium Dioxide Surcharge on Selected Products

Due to continuing significant price increases in the cost of titanium dioxide over the past six months, Axalta Coating Systems (NYSE: AXTA) will impose a price surcharge for coating products that contain this critical raw material.

The surcharge will be applied to specific products sold in all regions of the world and is independent from any pricing actions due to the long-term rise in the cost of producing resins and other key components of Axalta products. The titanium dioxide surcharge will take effect on all orders received after August 1, 2017.
