Korsnäs Raises Prices of White Top Liner

Korsnäs AB, Sweden, this week announced a price increase in the U.K. and Ireland of £65 per metric ton on all of its white top kraftliner grades (Korsnäs Classic, Korsnäs Decor, Korsnäs Design, and Korsnäs Supreme). The company notes that the price increase is the result of negative differences in U.K. price levels compared with continental Europe. It will take effect on all deliveries and invoices beginning March 1.

Korsnäs operates three production facilities in Sweden: Gävle, Frövi and Rockhammar, with a total production capacity of 1.1 million metric tpy of cartonboard and paper annually, with integrated pulp production. Korsnäs also produces biofuel pellets at two plants in Latvia. The company exports approximately 90% of its products.
