Further increases in M-real’s uncoated fine paper prices
The continued upward pricing cycle for pulp has recently intensified
due to the unfortunate events in Chile which has led some pulp
suppliers to suspend deliveries under force majeure. This is compounded
by strikes at some transportation companies and ports in Finland
together with severe weather conditions in Scandinavia. This has
resulted in an extraordinary situation concerning both the availability
and subsequent costs of this key raw material.
M-real has announced price increases for all uncoated paper products in
reels, cut sizes and folio sheets across all European business by 8% as
of 1 March.
In addition, a further increase in paper prices of 15% will become
effective as of 15 April 2010 to be applied to all uncoated paper
products in reels, large formats and cut sizes.
