Feb 15, 2010. /Lesprom Network/. Ahlstrom announced price increases on all of its specialty paper grades, as profitability has been driven to very low level by continuous cost increases despite the strong market demand. Prices for all paper grades will increase by at least 10% depending on the nature of the products, regions and invoicing currencies. Effective dates and detailed actions will be discussed with customers by the appropriate business teams. Ahlstrom's Specialty Papers segment has production sites in Brazil, France, Germany, Finland, Italy and USA.
