Scheufelen Increases Prices for Coated Woodfree Grades

Papierfabrik Scheufelen, Lenningen, Germany, this week reported that it will raise prices for its coated woodfree papers by 8% in all countries, beginning with shipments on and after September 1. The company attributes the price increase to continuing increases in raw materials and energy costs.

Scheufelen, founded in 1855, was acquired by the Dutch company Paper Excellence this past May. At the Lenningen site, some 550 employees produce up to 300,000 metric tpy of premium coated woodfree paper from FSC and PEFC certified pulps. The paper brands Phoenixmotion, Parilux, Heaven 42, Bys, and Bro are available in a grammage range from 90 gsm – 400 gsm and are available with matt, semi-matt, and glossy surfaces.
