P&G plans 5% increase on Charmin, Bounty levels; other majors line up consumer, Af H hikes for June

摘要

Rising input costs for the better part of two years led North American tissue and consumer products giant Procter & Gamble (P&G) and others to set a series of tissue product increases for June, even as private label competition grows. P&G early this week unveiled a list price increase of 5% on Charmin toilet paper and Bounty paper towels that starts in late June. Charmin and Bounty are two of the firm's 24 more- than-$l-billion/yr brands.
