NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 29, 2010)—Bridgestone Americas Off Road Tire Operations L.L.C. plans to boost prices for mining, construction and industrial tires by as much as 4 percent with some in-line adjustments on April 1.
The company said the increases are needed to cover a portion of the rising cost of raw materials, energy and transportation. Bridgestone said it has been trying to absorb higher costs via efficiencies and other means.
