Lecta Merchanting Division, made up of Torraspapel Distribution in France, Spain, and Portugal, and Polyedra in Italy, has announced a price increase for deliveries of its coated woodfree paper and other grades effective early September. The company said that progressive erosion in margins has forced it to apply adjustments that will range between 6% and 9%, depending on the grade. The adjustments will be applied to all deliveries in Lecta’s markets in the different channels. 

"Our customers will be informed personally by our sales teams, who will provide any further information they should require;" Lecta said in a release this week.
