Price Revisions for GENESTAR™ heat-resistant polyamide resin 2026

Kuraray Co., Ltd. announces its decision to upwardly revise the prices of GENESTAR™ heat-resistant polyamide resin in all regions, effective for shipments on or after May 1, 2026.

Against the backdrop of the recent developments in the Middle East, the costs of the main raw materials for the products have risen sharply. In addition, the impact has also extended to auxiliary materials, and these increases in various costs have reached a level beyond what can be absorbed through internal efforts alone.

Under these circumstances, we have decided to implement the following price revisions to ensure ongoing supply and maintain product quality.

1. Scope of revision

GENESTAR™ heat-resistant polyamide resin

2. Effective date

Shipments on or after May 1, 2026

3. Price increase

+10% or more
