Lamitech is dedicated to keeping customers informed on industry and association news.
Here’s what we've been up to recently.
Ecological Fibers is announcing a price increase on all orders placed on or after May 1, 2021.
The re-opening of the economy has triggered an inflationary environment and over the past 3 months, transportation costs and virtually all of the materials we source have increased - in some cases dramatically. We have no option but to offset these additional costs in our product pricing going forward.
Generally speaking, increases on our Rainbow® Uncoated and Coated Papers, Textiles, Flocked Paper, and PU products will be in the 3-5% range.
We continue to invest in our operations to improve efficiency and are currently preparing to install equipment into our Massachusetts facility towards this goal.
Please contact your Sales or Customer Service Representative with any questions you may have. We appreciate your support and as always will do our best to minimize the impact on our customers.

THOMASVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. (Nasdaq: ODFL) today announced a general rate increase (GRI) of 4.9 percent applicable to rates established under the existing ODFL 559, 670, and 550 tariffs effective March 1, 2021.
Todd A. Polen, Old Dominion’s Vice President – Pricing Services, commented, "At Old Dominion, we are committed to delivering our premium value proposition of on-time, claims-free service at a fair price. To satisfy our customers’ expectations and deliver on the promises we have made, we must continue to enhance our high-quality service network and systems. This GRI will affect our class tariffs and is intended to partially offset the rising costs of real estate, new equipment, technology investments, and competitive employee wage and benefit packages. Although the GRI will impact each customer differently based on specific shipment lanes and distance traveled, it is consistent with our long-term yield management philosophy and the overall impact of the increase is anticipated to be approximately 4.9 percent. The GRI also provides for a nominal increase in minimum charges with respect to intrastate, interstate and cross border lanes.”
