The sharp rise in gas and electricity prices has a direct impact on our manufacturing costs and profitability. Due to this extraordinary situation, an energy cost surcharge is unfortunately unavoidable.
We will therefore impose an energy cost surcharge of up to EUR 10/100kg in all our product segments. This will apply to all deliveries from December 1, 2021, and until further notice.

Key Updates: *Restart of Brownville facility ahead of schedule *Limited direct Russia/Ukraine business exposure *Full-year 2022 Adjusted EBITDA on track to be $135-145 million, an increase of 15-25% over prior year. Neenah announced today the restart of its Brownville, New York manufacturing facility. The facility, which has been closed as a result of a recent fire, is resuming production earlier than anticipated. Although the restart will not materially reduce the estimated $3.0 million impact on the first quarter, it provides additional capacity to address the elevated level of demand and reduces supply uncertainty for Neenah’s customers. Secondly, in light of the rapidly deteriorating events in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus, Neenah is confirming its limited direct exposure to the region. The Company does not have facilities or inventory located in these countries. Annual sales in the region have historically been less than 1% of overall revenue, and the Company does not have meaningful exposure to raw materials sourced from these countries. Like many businesses, however, the company may experience ancillary impacts, including elevated energy prices, which the company is prepared to manage.
Suzano has started operations this week at its new fluff pulp production line located in its Limeira mill in Brazil's São Paulo state. This R$490 million investment increases Suzano's total fluff pulp production capacity by more than 400%, from 100,000 to 440,000 tonnes per year.
The project, which Suzano first announced in October of 2023, involved converting the existing pulp line at the Limeira unit into a flexible machine, capable of producing both Eucafluff® and market pulp. Eucafluff is used in the production of absorbent and personal hygiene products, such as baby and adult diapers, sanitary pads and pet pads. Market pulp is used for making products like toilet paper, printing and writing papers, and paper packaging.
Ahlstrom-Munksjö has decided on two investment projects, totaling EUR 9 million, both with attractive financial returns. This supports Ahlstrom-Munksjö’s strategic ambition to maintain a leading position in selected niches of the global fiber-based solutions market that offer positive growth outlook and are supported by sustainable market drivers. In the Decor business area, the company will invest about EUR 5 million to further enhance the quality of pre-impregnated decor papers produced at its Dettingen plant in Germany. Through the investment, which will be completed by the end of 2018, Ahlstrom-Munksjö will be able to strengthen its leading position in pre-impregnated decor papers. In the Specialties business area, the company will invest about EUR 4 million to rebuild a converting line of sterilization wrap being produced at its Pont Audemer plant in France. The material is e.g. used for protecting medical garments and sterilizing instruments. The investment includes installing a new sheeter and folding line as well as automated wrapping and boxing of the finished goods. Through the investment, which will be completed by the second quarter of 2019, the business will improve its competitiveness through higher efficiency and shorter lead times.
