Following the outstanding escalation in raw materials, logistics, energy and other costs throughout 2021, The Navigator Company will increase paper prices in Europe up to 6%, effective 27th September.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the industry has been operating within a framework of unacceptable margins to remunerate capital, which jeopardizes its future sustainability. The escalation of prices for raw materials and subsidiaries, logistics, energy and CO2 throughout 2021 has brought even more pressure to these margins forcing the Company to raise prices to recover acceptable levels of profitability.
The present context on the demand side, with record high order books and supply limitations and disruptions supports this margin recovery movement along the value chain.
The Navigator Company is the leading European manufacturer of uncoated printing and writing paper and bleached eucalyptus pulp.
