Flint Group Announces Global Price Increase Across All Packaging Lines Luxembourg based Flint Group Packaging announced it will increase the prices of all its packaging products sold by the Flexible Packaging, Paper & Board and Narrow Web businesses. Advising of the worsening market conditions throughout 2021, the group has continued to weather un- precedented raw material, packaging, energy and freight cost increases. Escalating costs continue to be seen across all the above categories with no sign of relief in the foreseeable future. “The security of supply is our number one priority. Due to our extensive global network and efficiency programs, we are able to mitigate a significant portion of cost and supply risk,” said Doug Aldred, Chief Commercial Officer of Flint Group Packaging. “However, we continue to wit- ness tightening supply and exponential cost increases. Despite implementing an extensive range of efficiency programs to mitigate these conditions, we are reluctantly compelled to raise prices.” The company will seek a price increase and an in- crease in temporary surcharges during Quarter One or as contracts allow. Your local sales representative will be in contact soon to discuss the effect of these adjustments. Flint Group is one of the largest suppliers to the printing and packaging industry worldwide.
