PRESS RELEASE

12th April 2010
Raw materials situation leads Papierfabrik Scheufelen
to raise prices again
With effect from 1 June 2010, Papierfabrik Scheufelen is raising prices
for all product brands of its coated woodfree paper range by at least 10
per cent. For example, this is equivalent to a minimum increase of EUR
80.00 per tonne for BVS, the coated woodfree sheets brand from
Scheufelen. Prices of coated woodfree paper in reels as well as the
ExclusiveLine and TrendLine brands will be adjusted in the same way.
Despite extensive cost reduction measures it has not been possible to
compensate for the dramatic costs situation, particularly for pulp.
Therefore a price increase is unavoidable. This measure applies to all
countries.
