Ahlstrom announces price increase on its calender bowl materials
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Ahlstrom Corporation PRESS RELEASE 8.11.2010 at 13.10
Ahlstrom, a leading developer and producer of nonwovens and specialty papers,
today announces price increase on its calender bowl materials worldwide as a
consequence of the rise of raw materials costs.
The price increase will be effective as of November 15, 2010 and will vary from
8 to 10 percent, depending on the products and agreements in place. Specific
details will be discussed with each customer individually.
The price of cotton, a key raw material in the manufacturing of high quality
calender bowl materials, has increased substantially and makes it necessary for
Ahlstrom to adjust its prices.
Ahlstrom's calendered bowl materials are used in the paper and textile industry
and are produced at the Altenkirchen plant, Germany. This unit is part of the
Label and Processing Business Area which operates seven production sites located
in France (3), Germany (2), Italy (1) and Brazil (1).
