In a May 25 letter to customers, Guardian Industries, Auburn Hills, Mich., announced a price increase on its products, effective June 23. Clear float glass prices will increase 10 percent, and prices for clear patterned glass, tinted and specialty glass, coated glass, tempered glass, and laminated glass will increase 8 percent.
"Guardian continues to experience higher costs for the materials and services used in manufacturing high quality float glass and related products for architectural and automotive glass applications," Martin Powell, vice president, North America, sales and marketing, said in the letter. "Glass pricing has not kept pace as costs have increased, despite Guardian's strides in increasing the efficiency of our manufacturing and administrative processes." (emphasis mine)

Interesting. One of my hobbies is letterpress printing, and we recently saw this press release that details why the price of printing ink is rising: not only the price of crude oil, vegetable oils and carbon black, but other chemicals are under competitive demand or tight supplies. Seems to be a lot of raw materials "scarcity" going around all of a sudden.
