Orion Engineered Carbons S.A. announced that it will increase pricing for acetylene black.  
 
Following the acquisition of its acetylene black plant in France, the company said it adjusted the facility’s strategic focus, requiring new investments to better serve the growing market demand for acetylene black used in lithium-ion battery production.
