Antalis
has set its sights on higher prices in Germany. The trader announced last week
that it intends to raise prices for coated woodfree (CWF) sheets by 5% from May
6. Prices for all other grades are supposed to rise by 3% from the same date.
Antalis
ascribed the move to rising energy and fuel prices as well as logistics and
transport costs, which are impacting the price structure in the wholesale
market.
