Flint Group announces 3% flexo plate price hike:
The manufacturer cited the fact energy costs have risen more than 20% since 2007, with further "major increases" expected due to the move to renewable energies, as one reason for the price hike.
It added that transport and logistic costs had "constantly gone up" in recent years, with future rises becoming evident, and that raw material prices had escalated since 2008 with "no recovery" in sight.
