It would appear that Smurfit Kappa’s profits have declined and they feel it’s necessary to charge more for their products in an attempt to stop the slide – they could be on dodgy ground though – I wonder how many of their converting customers are going to feel able to pass on any of the increases to their own clients. 

Or is this a signal that the market is on the rise – will other manufacturers see what Smurfit is doing and also push for increases – comment by J Bear
