BRUSSELS (News release) -- Sonoco S.a.r.l., a wholly owned unit of Sonoco Products Company, a global leader in high-value sustainable packaging, announced it will raise prices by 80 Euro per ton for uncoated recycled paperboard (URB) grades and 8% on all tube and core products sold by the Company in the EMEA region.
The increase is necessary and in direct response to the continued escalation of inflationary pressures on the business and will be effective for all shipments made on or after 15th April 2026.
"We continue to experience further cost increases in all sectors of our operations and supply chain related to rising costs of energy, natural gas, fuel, chemicals and additives across our supplier base. We are forced to pass these cost increases to the market as we are unable to absorb them any further. Supply security and quality remain our primary focus, but we must keep pace with these rising costs," said Sonoco's Karsten Kemmerling, Division Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Industrial Paper Packaging, EMEA.
Sonoco S.a.r.l. is wholly owned by Sonoco and operates 19 tubes and core plants and five paperboard mills in Europe.
