Sonoco-Alcore to increase paperboard prices in Central Europe

Sonoco-Alcore S.a.r.l. will again raise prices by a further Euro 50 per tonne on all recycled paperboard grades sold in the Company’s Central European regions. The price change is effective with shipments on or after the 1st January 2018, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

“The continued strong demand for core board across Europe, along with expectations that already elevated raw material and energy prices will continue to rise into the New Year, leave us little choice but to implement this increase,” said Phil Woolley, Director – Paper Europe.

Sonoco-Alcore S.a.r.l. is wholly-owned by Sonoco and operates 29 tubes and cores plants and four paperboard mills in Europe.
