Price Revision of Industrial Functional Materials

March 31, 2026

Sumitomo Bakelite Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Shinichi Kajiya) hereby announces that it will revise the sales prices of its industrial functional materials products.

Due to the recent escalation of tensions in the Middle East, the procurement environment for crude oil, naphtha and other materials has rapidly deteriorated, causing serious disruptions to the supply chains for raw materials used in industrial functional materials, including polycarbonate resin. We are taking every possible measure, including diversifying our procurement channels and refining our inventory strategies, to stabilize supply. However, it has become extremely difficult to maintain current prices while absorbing the increased costs resulting from the current surge in raw material prices and we are therefore compelled to implement a price revision.

Accordingly, we would like to implement the following product price revisions and kindly ask for your understanding and cooperation.

Products Subject to Price Revision :  All polycarbonate plate/sheet/film products
All polyvinyl chloride plate products
All PET plate products
Other products of Industrial Functional Materials business

Price Revision Rate A minimum of 20% increase from the current price

Effective Date of Price Revision Shipments starting from May 7, 2026
