Apr 20, 2015. /Lesprom Network/. Södra is replacing the contracting premium for hardwood pulp that has been in place since 10 February with a corresponding price increase of SEK 25 ($2.9) per m3sub effective as of 15 April, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network. 

“The mild and wet winter, in combination with the clearing of storm-felled wood, have led to a weaker flow of hardwood at the same time as demand for the material is favourable. The price increase applies to hardwood pulp and sawable hardwood.

Södra's offer for hardwood remains strong, providing the basis for a high level of activity at the hardwood mill," says Håkan Larsson, President, Södra Skog.
