Despite absorbing costs, YOHT announces ‘unavoidable’ price increase

Date: 14th October 2021 Author: Stephen Goodchild Comments: 0

For the fourth time this year, Yokohama Off-Highway Tires (YOHT) is increasing prices for its products. In announcing the new pricing that will be applied from 1 December, YOHT stresses it has sought to keep the increases in 2021 “lower than the industry average” by itself absorbing “the major part” of the “dramatically rising cost for raw materials and freight” rather than pass these additional costs on to customers.

The tyre maker will implement an average increase of 4.5 per cent across the entire portfolio of its Alliance and Galaxy brands and states that “once again only a smaller part of the growing cost will be passed on.” The price increases apply to products from all YOHT plants.

“Price increases are what manufacturers least like to announce,” says Koen van Gemert, YOHT’s head of finance – Europe. “And yet, given the current situation in the markets, this cannot be avoided. YOHT is however, doing everything possible, to reduce the burden on business partners to the absolute minimum.”

The first increase of the year took effect on 1 January and saw prices rise by 4.5 per cent to 5.5 per cent. This was followed by a further 4.5 to 5.5 per cent increases from 1 April and then from 1 July. This equates to a price increase of approximately 20 per cent over the past 12 months.
