Hardwood pulp prices creep higher

By Tom Stundza – Purchasing Magazine

The purchasingdata.com survey of buyers matches data in the Pulp and Paper Week newsletter that northern bleached hardwood kraft pulp cost an average $810/metric ton in April, up just $5 from March. AbitibiBowater, Alberta-Pacific and Marubeni Pulp & Paper North had sought $835.
