Domtar
informed North American customers today its northern bleached softwood kraft
(NBSK) market pulp price will increase $20/tonne, effective October 1 until
further notice, as reported by RISI.
The
Montreal-headquartered firm's price increase is the first known pricing move in
North America for October business.
As
for other Oct. 1 pricing plans, the only previous moves from NBSK producers
came in Europe, where Sodra, Mercer International, Metsa Fibre, and Stora Enso announced $790/tonne,
Oct. 1 list prices. None stated the amount of their European increases.
