Lecta to increase 2-side coated woodfree prices by 8%, effective April 1st, 2026

Lecta will raise prices by 8% on all 2-side coated woodfree paper grades in sheets and reels, effective April 1, 2026. The adjustment addresses ongoing increases in production costs, raw materials, and logistics pressures impacting profitability.​

This follows similar actions by peers like Sappi and Scheufelen, driven by pulp and latex cost inflation despite strong order books. Lecta, a major European producer including mills like Condat and Torraspapel, emphasizes the need to offset input inflation affecting margins.​

The hike applies across European and international markets for new orders, continuing a pattern of periodic adjustments amid volatile commodity prices. Lecta sales teams will detail application by product and region
