Koehler Paper Announces 8% Price Increase for Thermal Paper in Selected Markets

Koehler Paper, part of the Koehler Group and one of the world's leading manufacturers of thermal paper, will increase prices for thermal paper by 8% for new orders in selected markets, effective July 1, 2026. This measure particularly affects highly competitive markets where price levels remain significantly below international benchmarks. The objective is to achieve a sustainable alignment with global pricing structures. The price adjustment is driven by ongoing cost increases for raw materials used in the production of thermal paper, as well as for energy – especially gas – and in the global freight and logistics structure. These developments have increasingly impacted production costs and placed a noticeable strain on the stability of supply chains in recent months. Despite comprehensive measures to further optimize internal processes and improve efficiency, this price adjustment is necessary to ensure a stable and reliable supply as well as the consistently high quality of products. As usual, Koehler Paper’s sales team will inform all customers individually about the adjustments.
