Lecta to Increase CWF Paper Prices

Lecta, the second largest European coated woodfree (CWF) paper producing group, made up of Condat, Cartiere del Garda, and Torraspapel, reports that it will increase prices for its CWF paper deliveries, effective June 1. The price increase of 6% to 8% will vary according to product format and country. "Our customers will be personally informed by our sales teams who will provide them with any information they may require," the company said.

Lecta noted that high manufacturing costs related to rising input costs, especially for pulp, chemicals such as latex, energy, and transportation, are forcing it to implement the CWF price increase.
