Sonoco Alcore to Raise Coreboard, Uncoated Recycled Board Prices

Sonoco Alcore S.a.r.l., Brussels, Belgium, reports that it will increase the price of coreboard and uncoated recycled board in Europe by EUR 50, effective October 1. Sonoco Alcore S.a.r.l. is wholly owned by Sonoco, U.S., and operates 28 tube and core plants and five paperboard mills in Europe.

"We have absorbed higher energy, freight, and other material prices throughout 2013 and the current market conditions are such that we must finally increase prices of coreboard and uncoated recycled board," said Phil Woolley, director, Sonoco Alcore Paper.
