Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations is implementing price
increases in two of its divisions.
The Off Road Tire, U.S. & Canada Commercial Tire Sales
division (BAOR), has announced plans to increase prices by 12
percent with some in-line adjustments. The price increases
will affect all mining, construction and industrial tires
marketed by BAOR. The price increases are scheduled to begin
March 1.
The Agricultural Tire, U.S. & Canada Commercial Tire Sales
division (BAAG) has announced a 4 percent price increase on
Firestone agricultural, construction and forestry tires;
Bridgestone garden tires; and Regency tires sold in the United
States and Canada replacement markets. The new pricing will be
effective April 1.
“We are committed to providing our customers with tires of the
highest possible quality and value,” says Saul Solomon,
president of U.S. and Canada Commercial Tire Sales. “While we
make every effort to absorb cost fluctuations through
efficiencies, the widespread rise in the cost of raw
materials, fuel and transportation have made these adjustments
necessary at this time.”
