Increasing input costs like raw materials and transportation have had a strong negative impact on the profitability of all paper producers. Arctic Paper has so far absorbed these increased variable costs but the company now needs to announce a price increase on all uncoated fine paper grades, both in folio sheets and reels. The price increase will range from 5-8% and will differ from the current price levels per country and paper grade.

The price increase will be implemented for all markets and deliveries from 1 April 2010 will be affected.
