Strong pressure on tissue prices in Germany

Many tissue paper producers in Germany are facing substantial pressure on prices. According to Euwid, the situation is due to a surplus supply on the market which is estimated at 600,000 to 800,000 tonnes. The start-up of new tissue machines in Germany has aggravated the situation.

A few tissue manufacturers had increased their prices over the summer months, but must now face a loss in income since other suppliers have had their prices unchanged.
