Sonoco-Alcore S.a.r.l. has just announced it will again raise prices for paper-based tubes and cores, effective from shipments beginning on 24th July 2017.

IMG 4444"Prices of coreboard continue to rise, driven by fundamental changes in recovered paper markets. As this trend continues, we are forced to keep pace and apply a further increase to our tubes and cores," said Karsten Kemmerling, Director of Sales and Marketing - Tubes and Cores, Europe. "We continue to invest in our operations to generate manufacturing productivity, but this will not cover the significant increase in material costs. The outlook for the second half of this year could well be a further tightening of material availability and inevitably further price increases for our base raw material."

"The increase follows a continuous rise over the past six months in coreboard prices across Europe driven predominantly by higher OCC costs peaking now in a 60 Euro per ton or a 15 percent increase in coreboard," said Karsten Kemmerling, Director of Sales and Marketing - Tubes and Cores, Europe. "We are doing all we can to maintain tight cost control, but with coreboard a dominant part of our cost, we are unable to offset such movement."

Start-up of the A.Celli Paper rewinder model AC842, in a 2700-mm format and a production speed of 1200 m/min, sold last year to Sonoco Alcore, was concluded as scheduled on 16 January 2017, following the signing of the acceptance certificate.

ACelli logoIn just 8 months, the order, that included not only the rewinder but also a complete final product handling system (overhead crane – wagon – conveyor belts) was built, installed and started up at Sonoco Alcore’s Ciriè Paper Mill in the Provincia of Turin (Italy).

The project has been very well managed by the Mill Team, in cooperation with A Celli Team all along the entire operation, from the signature of the order to the start-up of the machine,” said Massimo Basta, Plant & Sales Manager of Sonoco Alcore. “Satisfaction was further confirmed by reaching our target in established time frames.”

logo bluSonoco-Alcore S.a.r.l. today announced it will raise prices for paper-based tubes and cores by at least 5.5 percent, depending on the type of product, to all customers in Italy and Spain effective with shipments beginning on 13th July.

"After a period of stability in our base raw materials, we are now seeing market rises in OCC (old corrugated containers) in a number of European countries. With Asian countries again sourcing raw materials in Europe, supply has become constrained and naturally prices are rising. The most recent sustained moves have been in Italy and Finland. While we have yet announced changes in Finland, we continue to monitor this situation closely," said Karsten Kemmerling, director of sales and marketing, Tubes and Cores, Europe. "We are doing all we can to keep costs under control, but with coreboard rising by €50 per ton, we can no longer absorb these and other costs without adjusting our selling prices for tubes and cores."
