Sappi Europe to increase prices for Woodfree Coated and Woodfree Uncoated paper grades by 6-8% by January 1st

Due to continued high pulp prices and increasing energy and transportation costs, the longer term economic viability of our paper assets remains at risk. Sappi is therefore forced to pass on this cost inflation by increasing its CWF and UWF prices in sheets and reels by 6-8% effective on deliveries from January 1st 2019 for all European and Overseas markets. This follows previous announcements made for its LWC and MWC grades.
