HZ info,BOSTON – March 12, 2026 – Effective immediately or as contracts allow, Cabot Corporation (NYSE: CBT) will raise prices globally for products sold by its specialty compounds business. Price increases will be up to 20 percent, depending on the product and region. Furthermore, Cabot will implement an additional ongoing surcharge, with adjustments continuously evaluated as market conditions evolve.
