Coated Freesheet Price Increase

North American coated freesheet (CFS) producers have told customers they will implement a $60/ton price increase on sheets and web grades effective October 1.
Suppliers that have announced include NewPage, Verso, Sappi, West Linn, Nippon and Appleton.
No mention, yet, for price increase for Groundwood coated publication products. US demand in the Groundwood market has not been as strong as free sheet.
