B&B announces price increase for label- and flexible packaging papers up to 8% with validity from 1.4.2010

Considerable cost increases for raw material and strong order income for label – and flexible packaging papers, make it necessary to adapt the paper prices immediately.

B&B is a leading supplier for label- and flexible packaging papers with sites in Austria, Brigl & Bergmeister and in Slovenia, Papirnica Vevce.

Despite of a comprehensive cost saving program to improve the competitiveness sustainably, a price increase will be necessary as early as possible.

This will also ensure that the quality and service standards of B&B will remain on the highest level.

For all deliveries from 1.4.201 onward, 8% price increase will be applied.

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.
