Jun 25, 2007. /Lesprom Network/. M-real, one of the leading European fine paper producers, will increase the prices of coated WF sheets and coated WF reels in Europe. The continued cost pressure in paper production is forcing the company to increase the prices. The 5-8% price increase will be effective from September 10, 2007. During the coming months M-real will curtail its graphic fine paper production by 10% in order to stabilize the market balance. “We count on our customers’ continuing support in implementing the price increase and we will discuss the full details with all our customers shortly”, the company says. M-real is one of Europe’s leading suppliers of paperboard and related services, coated and uncoated fine paper and coated magazine paper. Company’s main market is Europe, but the products are sold worldwide. M-real focuses on four business areas: consumer packaging, publishing, commercial printing and office papers.
