Sappi Europe will implement a price increase of Euro 50 per ton on its entire Woodfree Coated sheet portfolio, effective March 16, 2026. The company states the adjustment is necessary as current market prices have fallen to levels that do not reflect underlying industry costs, jeopardizing the long-term viability of operations.

The producer cites weak demand and intense competitive pressure for the heavy decline in market prices over recent months. Sappi indicates this price increase is a first step toward re-establishing a sustainable price level to ensure reliable supply, maintain service quality, and support ongoing investment. The company notes that further adjustments may follow if structural cost pressures continue.

Sappi Europe is a producer of high‑quality graphic papers.
