Sept. 15, 2026 - Sappi Europe has announced a price increase of 5-7% across its full range of Woodfree Coated (WFC) papers sold in European markets. The increase will apply to all new orders and deliveries from 12 October 2026.
In a press release, Sappi explained, "The adjustment is necessary to address the continued escalation of costs across the supply chain. These cost increases have placed significant pressure on the economics of paper production and require a corresponding market response to ensure sustainable operations.
"Despite ongoing efficiency initiatives and cost-control measures, current market conditions make this increase unavoidable. The adjustment will enable Sappi Europe to continue delivering the high levels of product quality and service reliability that customers expect," the company said.
Sappi noted that customers will be contacted individually by its Europe's sales organisation to discuss implementation details.
Headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, Sappi Europe is the leading European producer of coated graphic paper as well as packaging and speciality papers.
