Domtar, Boise plan new 60/ton increases for June on cutsize, offset

摘要

Major North American uncoated freesheet (UFS) producers Domtar, Boise, and Glatfelter this week scheduled new price increases to the dismay of customers who absorbed a prior hike initiated in February. Boise on Tuesday announced a 3/cwt (60/ton) increase effective on orders placed May 27 and on shipments effective June 9. The company cited "significant cost increases in energy, chemicals, transportation, and fiber" for the higher prices on its Boise branded and private label papers, including cutsize, rolls, and sheets.
