We seek to do this in part, by providing simple, transparent and consistent annual pricing enabled by a relentless focus on controlling costs. Throughout 2018, despite our best efforts, we have experienced, and absorbed on your behalf, significant raw material and freight cost increases. In spite of this, we are proud to have been able to honor our commitment to you and maintain consistent pricing throughout the year.

Gerber Price Increase
April 01, 2018
Please be advised that the Gerber list price adjustment effective April 1, 2018 for both Gerber branded Vitreous China (VC) and Brass is now available on our website, www.gerberonline.com.
The following is a brief summary of the adjustments:
-
VC Price List Adjustments - During the last two (2) years, the industry has experienced significant material and labor increases overall. We have managed to absorb most of those cost increases during that time period but not all. Therefore, list prices for Gerber VC products are increasing by a weighted average +3.0%.
-
Brass Price List Adjustments - Due to significant increases in raw materials and labor, list prices for Gerber Brass products are increasing by a weighted average of 4.9%. The 4/1/2018 Price List also includes the announcement of products planned for discontinuation effective July 1, 2018. Gerber branded products being discontinued at that time include, but are not limited to the following:
- Tumbled Bronze finish in Gerber faucets
- Waveland and Riverdale collections
- Gerber lavatory faucets that use all plastic lavatory drains
We are happy to announce that the two (2) most popular Maxwell SE Standard and Roman Tub bath drains will again be available later this summer to provide our customers with a basic bath drain at a great value
The current 2017 Price List, labeled "2017 and 2018 Price List," will also remain active on our site through March 31, 2018.
