Ahlstrom, a global high performance fiber-based materials company, announces price increases on its masking tape materials produced by the Food and Medical business area. The price increases will be made to compensate for the continued high costs of raw materials and chemicals as well as energy related inflation.
The price increases will affect all masking tape products manufactured in Europe effective December 15, 2013. The increase will be up to 4% depending on markets as well as the product and the agreements in place. Specific details will be discussed with each customer individually by the appropriate sales teams in the coming days.
Ahlstrom offers the widest range of masking tape base papers for a perfectly sharp finish line and optimal protection on even the most delicate surfaces. Food and Medical business area's end-use applications include teabags, coffee filters, food packaging, baking papers, masking tape, surgical gowns and drapes, and sterile barrier systems.
