The Navigator Company, European leader in the production of UWF paper, is set to increase the prices for its UWF (uncoated woodfree) paper products across several European markets by 4% to 6%, effective on dispatch of goods from the 24th February.

The strong pressure on the industry's cost structure, which has undermined profitability and led to the closure of several plants in the US and Europe, has made this price review inevitable. Moreover, in recent years paper industry has endured a significant decline in paper prices, which cause the lowest paper price levels in Europe in the last seven years. This balance results in an inevitable need to take action to mitigate those effects.
