ALJ Raises Price of Industrial and Medical Gas from April 1
Air Liquide Japan will raise the prices of industrial and medical gases with effect from the delivery on April 1.
The products for the revision will be oxygen, nitrogen, argon, helium and carbon dioxide including gas mixtures. The revision will be applied to industrial gases for general industries and medical use in all packing styles of products in tank truck, cylinder and LGC. The range of revision is not disclosed.
The reason to decide the revision at this time is that the logistics cost has risen high due to the Longtime Working Hours Regulation under the enforcement of the Work Style Reform Law effective from April in addition to the rising trend of energy and raw material costs.
