The Navigator Company announces 4–7% price increase on UWF papers in Europe from April 6th onwards


The Navigator Company will implement a 4-7% price increase on all uncoated woodfree (UWF) printing and writing paper products sold in Europe, with the upper range applied to entry‑level grades. The new prices will apply to dispatches from April 6th onwards.

This decision reflects the ongoing and significant increase in key cost components, including energy, transportation, essential raw materials for pulp and paper production, and labour.

These rising costs have placed sustained pressure on the industry’s overall cost structure, making price adjustments necessary to ensure that Navigator continues to deliver the high‑quality, competitive, and environmentally responsible products our customers expect.

Given the current disruptions in the energy sector and the likely disruption to supply chains and logistics, particularly as a result of the conflict in the Middle East, further price increases for paper and packaging may soon be necessary to offset rising production costs.

Navigator remains fully committed to reinforcing its partnerships with customers and appreciates the continued trust placed in its products and solutions.
