ALBANY — Rising shipping, labor and material costs have forced Ambix Manufacturing to recently raise prices for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic, company leaders told U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas during a visit Thursday focused on tariffs, fuel costs and workforce shortages.

Pappas, a Democrat who represents New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District, and is running for U.S. Senate, stopped at the Albany plastics manufacturer to hear how economic pressures have affected them.
