SCA Tissue and Sappi Fine Paper team up on raw material procurement

摘要

SCA Tissue Europe and Sappi Fine Paper Europe have agreed to join forces in procuring raw materials, starting with pulp, the two companies announced in early May.rnThe global pulp market is reportedly in a consolidation phase. A number of factors are affecting availability and price. Double-digit growth in consumption figures in China, rising transport costs and currency effects all contribute to a raw material shortage and a steep increase in prices.
