Effective September 1, 2008 Trosifol North America Ltd. will be increasing prices by 15 percent on all Trosifol/Kuraray Europe PVB films for both the architectural and automotive market in the United States and Canada.

With U.S. operations located in Erin, N.Y., Trosifol is headquartered in Germany and is a manufacturer of PVB interlayers for use in architectural and automotive applications.
