Buckman, a U.S.-headquartered specialty chemical company based in Memphis, Tennessee, announced a 5-12% price increase for impacted product lines across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, effective February 1, 2026, or as contracts allow. The adjustment addresses ongoing pressures from inflation, transportation costs, labor expenses, heightened regulations, associated compliance costs, and rising key material prices.​

The company emphasized proactive cost management throughout 2025 and into 2026, implementing significant measures to control operational, supplier, and business expenses. These efforts minimized the extent of the required price adjustment while preserving service levels.​

Buckman reaffirmed its commitment to delivering high standards of value, quality, and service to partners, supported by rigorous industry expertise, premium chemicals, smart technology, and advanced data analysis focused on productivity, profitability, safety, compliance, and sustainability.​
