Iggesund Paperboard, Sweden, this week announced a price increase for both its solid bleached board range, Invercote, and its folding box board, Incada, throughout Europe. The increase will amount to EUR100 per metric ton in continental Europe and £100 per metric ton in the U.K. for deliveries beginning May 10. The company said that "quickly rising raw material prices" are the main reason for the increases.
Iggesund Paperboard is a member of the Holmen Group, one of Europe's largest forest industry companies.
