Billerud posts strong second quarter results

Region North America grew currency-neutral net sales by 11% compared with last year.

Pricing has more than offset cost inflation linked to higher oil prices. The biennial maintenance shutdown at Quinnesec impacted earnings negatively. Our journey to evolve towards packaging materials in North America is making steady progress and it gained further momentum during the quarter. Interest in our locally produced coated liner has been particularly strong, and we continue to qualify our products with both existing and new customers.
