Essen, Germany

Effective today, or as contracts allow, Evonik is increasing prices globally for its products offered under the brand names VESTAMIN® VESTANAT® and VESTAGON®.

Prices increase of minimum ten percent is driven by continued and rapid escalation of raw material costs, their availability, increased manufacturing costs and raising logistic costs. This increase is required in order to provide continued service, support, and sustainable manufacturing for our customers
