Ahlstrom Raises Price of Masking Tape Base Papers in Europe

Ahlstrom, Finland, has announced price increases on its masking tape materials produced by its Food and Medical business area. The price increases will be made to compensate for the continued high costs of raw materials and chemicals as well as energy related inflation, Ahlstrom noted.

The price increases will affect all masking tape products manufactured in Europe effective December 15. The increase will be up to 4% depending on markets as well as the product and the agreements in place. Specific details will be discussed with each customer individually by the appropriate sales teams in the coming days.

Ahlstrom produces a wide range of masking tape base papers. Food and Medical business area's end-use applications include teabags, coffee filters, food packaging, baking papers, masking tape, surgical gowns and drapes, and sterile barrier systems.
