Nippon Tokai Industrial Paper Supply Co., Ltd.

Nippon Tokai Industrial Paper Supply Co., Ltd. (President: Satoru Muto) in the Nippon Paper Group will implement price revisions for linerboard and corrugated medium and specialty paper as detailed below.

1. Product subject to price revisions

All linerboard and corrugated medium

Specialty paper (chipboard and color board, base paper, plasterboard base paper, SIKRA base paper)

2. Markup All linerboard and corrugated medium 15 yen/kg

Specialty paper 15% or more

3. Timing of implementation

Shipments from September 1, 2022

4. Reason for implementation

Ever since the price revision was announced in December 2021, fuel prices and logistic costs have continued to rise rapidly given the dramatic changes in world affairs, and the yen's sharp depreciation has worsened the situation.

Despite continuous cost cutting and other measures taken by Nippon Paper Industries Co., Ltd., Shin Tokai Paper Co., Ltd., and Nippon Tokai Industrial Paper Supply Co., Ltd., we have not reached a sustainable revenue level, and so have determined that we have no choice but to revise the product prices once again.
