SCA has the installed capacity to produce 1.2 million tons per year of pulp.
Feb. 13, 2026 - SCA today announced that it is increasing the price of NBSK pulp (Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft) in Europe by US $100 per ton.
The new price will be US $1,710 per ton, effective for deliveries and invoicing from March.
In SCA's fourth quarter 2025 earnings summary, the company reported "average selling prices in the pulp segment decreased compared with the preceding quarter, driven by lower underlying prices and a weaker market mix. Market prices for NBSK pulp in the US and China fell slightly in the fourth quarter, while the market price in Europe remained stable at a low level. Demand for pulp was good in China during the quarter but remained weak in both Europe and the US. SCA's delivery volumes for the fourth quarter were higher compared with the preceding quarter and year-on-year. Global producer stocks were stable during the quarter."
SCA produces pulp at its two pulp mills in Sweden. The Östrand pulp mill has the capacity to produce 900,000 tons per year of NBSK, while SCA's Ortviken mill has the capacity to produce 300,000 tons per year of CTMP (chemi-thermomechanical pulp). The Östrand pulp mill is one of the largest and most cost-efficient production lines for NBSK in the world and is also a net producer of green electricity and produces biochemicals such as tall oil and turpentine.
With headquarters in Sundsvall, Sweden, SCA offers packaging paper, pulp, wood products, renewable energy, services for forest owners and efficient transport solutions.
