 Print this article | Send to Colleague
Lecta, the second largest European coated woodfree paper-manufacturing group, made up of Condat, Cartiere del Garda, and Torraspapel, has announced a price increase for its one- and two-side CWF (coated woodfree) papers. Taking into consideration the manufacturing cost levels and the rising input costs, "the price increase is inevitable," the company notes.
The new prices will become effective with paper deliveries beginning in early July.
Lecta has nine factories divided into two production systems. By far the larger of the two is the coated fine paper system that encompasses five mills—in Italy (Riva del Garda), in France (Le Lardin St Lazare), and in Spain (Motril, Sant Joan Les Fonts, and Zaragoza), with a production capacity of 1,427,000 metric tpy. The smaller production system is the Torraspapel specialty group in Spain with five plants (Almazán, Berrobi-Uranga, Leitza, Sarrià de Ter, and Zaragoza) and a wide variety of complex converting, coating, and finishing machines, with a production capacity of 309,000 metric tpy and 123,000 metric tpy of uncoated woodfree and base paper.
