Scheufelen Increases Prices for Coated Woodfree Grades
Papierfabrik Scheufelen, Lenningen, Germany, will raise prices for its coated wood free 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 wood free paper from FSC and PEFC certified pulps.
