FUL Announces Price Hike Amid Petrochemical Supply Constraints

H.B. Fuller Company FUL has announced a global price increase of at least 10% across all product lines, effective from April 1, 2026, as it aims to ensure continued supply amid the ongoing disruptions in the petrochemical supply chain due to a dynamic global materials environment.

The move is in response to the tightening availability and rising raw material costs that have impacted the petrochemical industry in recent weeks. The pricing action will help safeguard a reliable supply and uphold product quality, service and performance.

The company is taking proactive measures to mitigate supply challenges. These include leveraging its diversified regional supply network, strengthening longstanding supplier partnerships, securing raw materials ahead of shortages and reallocating supply across regions. H.B. Fuller is also advancing qualified alternative raw materials where possible.

The price adjustment of certain technologies and regions may be significantly higher depending on cost pressures and supply conditions, ensuring the company continues investing in capabilities that support customer innovation, long term growth and operational stability. The company further emphasized its commitment to transparency and partnership, urging customers to share updated demand forecasts to support effective planning.

FUL stock has gained 4% over the past year compared with the industry’s 2.6% growth.
