Sappi raises European paperboard prices by EUR 89 per tonne

Sappi Europe will increase prices across its entire paperboard portfolio by EUR 89 per tonne, effective on new orders and deliveries from 1 November 2026. The company says the move is needed despite productivity gains and cost-cutting already implemented, citing ongoing cost pressures.
