SOTIPAPIER lifts Q3 revenue 23% on corrugated paper demand

Tunisian kraft and corrugated paper producer SOTIPAPIER reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of TND 25.9m, up 23% year on year, driven by a 67% jump in testliner and fluting sales to TND 14.7m. Kraft paper sales declined 8% in the quarter, and nine-month revenue fell 8% to TND 70.1m as kraft and energy sales weakened. Net debt was reduced to TND 42.8m at end-September 2026 from TND 50.4m a year earlier.

Why this mattersSOTIPAPIER's shift from kraft to testliner and fluting points to firmer corrugated demand in Tunisia, while weaker kraft and energy sales weigh on nine-month revenue.
