Brussels, 14 November 2013
Sappi Fine Paper Europe will increase prices, for both wood free sheets and reels, by 5% - 8% in Latin America, Middle East and Africa as from January 2014 productions.
Today’s cost structure and the low levels of profitability make this price increase inevitable.
Our customers will be personally informed by our sales teams who will provide them with any information they may require.
