Also, the company has decided to increase the price of its coated and uncoated n woodfree paper grades by 8%-10% across Europe. The hike in prices has become inevitable, mainly due to declining profitability and rise in raw materials and logistics costs. The announced increase in price on sheets and reels will come into effect by 1st March, 2021, it noted.

In addition, the company announced appointment of Marco Eikelenboom as CEO of Sappi Europe as from 1 April 2021. Currently, he is the Vice President Marketing & Sales, Graphic Papers at Sappi Europe.
