Bridgestone announces Japan price increase

Prices for Bridgestone winter car and van tyres are set to rise in Japan. Bridgestone Corporation intends to increase the prices for these products by an average of six per cent as of 1 September 2017.

Reporting its intention to adjust prices in its domestic market, Bridgestone comments that the move comes in response to raw material costs that it hasn’t been able to offset through improved productivity, cost reductions and other measures.
