After holding the line on pricing in the U.S. for
the past five years, we are forced to implement a minimal price adjustment
effective Aug. 1. The costs of base oils and other raw materials have increased
significantly in the past few months, while the costs of every aspect of
manufacturing and distribution have increased over the past five years. The
accumulation of those increased costs requires an average price increase of 6
percent on many AMSOIL products. Commission credits will be increased
accordingly. The renewed strength of the Canadian dollar and relative stability
of the exchange rate has allowed us to leave Canadian pricing as it stands.
Updated pricing information will be available in the
Product Pricing Interface in the Dealer Zone as soon as possible. We will
notify retail and commercial accounts by mail and online, but you should follow
up with your accounts to ensure they are aware of the pending price adjustment.
The AMSOIL U.S. Wholesale Price List (G3500) and Dealer Profit List (G3501) will
be revised to reflect new pricing and commissions; watch the Dealer Zone for an
announcement of availability. The AMSOIL Retail Catalog (G100) will also be
revised and made available as soon as possible. Since the price adjustment
occurs close to the regularly scheduled October catalog revision, you will
receive a copy in your September issue of AMSOIL Magazine rather than
the October issue.
