The board of directors ("the board") of Sappi Limited is pleased to have announced today that Steve Binnie, currently the Chief Financial Officer "CFO" of the company, will succeed Ralph Boëttger as CEO on 01 July 2014.

Sappi demonstrates its continued commitment to environmental sustainability by encouraging customers to help it support charity WeForest at Labelexpo Europe, 29 September to 2 October 2015, Brussels Expo.

Continuously rising input costs and consequently squeezed profit margins make corrective pricing measures essential as Sappi Europe’s business is unsustainable at current price levels. We are therefore announcing a price increase of 5-8% for all European coated and uncoated Graphic paper business as per January 2016.

Continuously rising input costs make it necessary for Sappi Europe to adjust prices upwards for Speciality papers as from January 2016. The price rise will apply to all European and Overseas markets.

Intertek, a leading provider of quality solutions worldwide has successfully completed an assessment of Sappi’s new cellulose reinforced polypropylene material, in order to determine its suitability for processing and automotive or consumer product applications.

Thomas Rajcsanyi has recently joined Sappi Alfeld GmbH as managing director. He replaces Stefan Karrer, who has left Sappi Alfeld to return home to southern Germany for personal reasons.

Packaging can open doors at the point of sale. To allow customers to really 'feel' the premium product line of exclusive hosiery and shapewear brand ITEM m6 from high-tech German manufacturer medi, the rlc | packaging group developed an ingenious concept.

It has become an annual institution; and in 2016, the popular photo wall calendar from ACTEGA Terra GmbH, first issued five years ago, will once again showcase the variety of possible finishes with Terra special coatings on Sappi's bright white cellulose Algro Design Card carton board.

Sappi is expanding its corrugated raw material product line with topliner and fluting with a new containerboard product group Containerboard. Bernd Gelder, Product Group Manager for Containerboard, is responsible for the enlarged product group.

Further to Sappi’s announcement on March 14, 2016 in connection with a bond issue, Sappi Limited announced today that it priced its bond offering to raise €350 million of new senior secured notes due 2023 with a coupon of 4.0% per annum.
