Cavagna Group announces price increase on LP gas equipment

Cavagna North America will increase prices by 5 percent on all high-pressure LP gas valves and equipment, the company announced. “Continued price volatility concerning the commodities used to make brass has resulted in higher manufacturing costs,” said David Ellis, vice president of sales and marketing for Cavagna North America. “Our ongoing efforts to neutralize raw material increases through improved operational efficiencies are simply outpaced by these rising costs.” Pricing will increase with orders shipped on or after Sept. 12 or as current contractual agreements permit, the company noted.
