Iggesund Paperboard announced a price increase for both its solid bleached board range, Invercote, and its folding box board, Incada, throughout Europe.

The increase will amount to EUR 100 per ton in continental Europe and GBP 100 (EUR 113) per ton in the United Kingdom for deliveries from 10 May 2010. The company commented that quickly rising raw material prices were behind the move. Iggesund Paperboard is a member of the Holmen Group, one of Europe’s largest forest industry companies. (ci)
