1st broad rise in four years now includes Cascades; P&G cuts sheet counts

摘要

Cascades became the second North American tissue paper producer to set an official price increase for consumer tissue products, and there was a report this week that Procter & Gamble (P&G) was reducing sheet counts in an unofficial increase move. KP Tissue CEO Mario Gosselin cited P&G's sheet count reduction during an earnings call with analysts on Aug. 12 and said that he sensed "momentum" for the increase. P&G's consumer tissue US share was 25% last year, according to RISI figures.
