Dallas, November 21, 2012 – “ Unilin remains focused on delivering the quality products and strong service that customers have come to expect from our brands,” said Shane Calloway, vice president of North American independent distribution sales for Unilin. “Unfortunately, rising lumber, veneer, and transportation costs have outgrown our productivity initiatives,” said Calloway. “As a result, Unilin is announcing a price increase, up to 6%, on engineered hardwood products in the Columbia and Century hardwood lines, effective January 1, 2013.”
