Citing exceptional increases in raw material, transportation and energy costs, Cleveland-based BASF Admixture Systems will increase prices up to 25 percent on its product lines for ready mixed and manufactured concrete, effective the middle of this month. BASF announced the measure shortly after a similar move by Grace Construction Products, which effected mid-August price increases up 10 percent across its concrete and masonry admixture products, with higher increases applying to some specialty agents.
