The price increases will be effective as of January 1, 2011 and will be in average 5 percent, depending on the products. Specific details will be discussed with each customer individually.. Even though pulp prices have stabilized, increased costs related to other raw materials make it necessary for Ahlstrom to adjust its prices.
