The AGC Group’s architectural glass business in Japan is facing a significant increase in various cost burdens, such as the sharp rise in raw materials and fuel, sub-materials, and logistics costs, as well as the rapid depreciation of the Japanese yen.

In this environment, the AGC Group is striving to cope with the rising costs by continuing to make every effort to improve productivity and reduce costs. However, the Group has determined that it is difficult to absorb the sharp rise in costs through its own efforts alone, and therefore has decided to implement a price revision for architectural glass-related products in Japan.
