Effective March 16, 2006, Alcan Cable will increase selling prices for all Aluminum Cable products through adjustments in discounts. We continue to face rising costs in materials, which we can no longer absorb.  We will raise selling prices by the following approximate amounts:

        All Bare products – 12%
        All Service products – 8 -12%
        All Building Wire products 8 -12%

The current price sheets are available on our web site at www.cable.alcan.com.

All orders placed on or after March 16th will be at the new level.
