Martin Rapp, President for Glatfelter’s Composite Fibers Business Unit said, “The cost particularly for long and natural specialty fibers used in the manufacturing of our filtration papers has continued to rise substantially in the last few months. The global demand for these specialty fibers has grown significantly due to a shift of consumer requirements in the beverage industry along with new technical applications driven by the trend for more sustainable products. The rise in demand is adversely coupled with the attractiveness to cultivate cash crops to the farmers."
Glatfelter is a global supplier of specialty papers and fiber-based engineered materials.
