“We have been confronted with a price increase of just under EUR 200 per tonne, and the level of the increase forces us to adjust fibre prices accordingly,” commented Matthew North, Commercial Director of Kelheim Fibres. “The Kelheim sales team will shortly be contacting customers on this matter. All existing agreements and obligations will of course be fulfilled.”
