(Finland) MYLLYKOSKI plans to raise prices for the second quarter in both coated publication papers (LWC/MWC) and uncoated publication papers (SC) by at least 30 euros.
“With the strong first quarter demand our primary concern is to be able to supply to our customers. As the traditional demand curve shows, the first quarter is always the weakest for the year, meaning that the demand increase in the following quarters will create a supply shortage in both LWC and SC grades. A similar situation is to be expected in newsprint”, states Henrik Björnberg, Executive Vice President, Markets.
The EUR 30 minimum increase will be applied to new contracts as well as to those LWC and SC contracts expiring in the first quarter. The new pricing will be applied for the second quarter 2008.
