Brigl & Bergmeister to raise prices for label papers

Brigl & Bergmeister will be raising prices for label papers and flexible packaging papers by an average of 8 percent.

According to Dr Eder, managing director of B&B and head of marketing and distribution, it has become necessary to take this step because the huge cost hikes of recent years have led to a severe drop in revenues, which can no longer be absorbed, ‘not even with rigorous savings measures in production’: ‘The added strain from the cost of energy and raw materials has left us with no more room to maneuver. B&B has an excellent reputation as a reliable supplier of labels and flexible packaging papers used for beverages as well as staple and luxury foods. Under no circumstances should our high standards ever be called into question. We therefore see it as an obligation to ensure that the necessary framework is in place for this service.’
