BRUSSELS, Aug. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sonoco S.a.r.l., a wholly owned unit of Sonoco Products Company (“Sonoco” or the “Company”) (NYSE: SON), a global leader in high-value sustainable packaging, announces it will increase prices by 60 Euro per ton for uncoated recycled paperboard (URB) grades sold by the Company in the EMEA region.

The increase is in direct response to the continued inflationary pressures on the business and will take effect for all shipments made on or after September 15, 2026.

“Geopolitical constraints and the continued inflationary business environment are driving cost increases across our operations and supply chain. Expected increases in energy and fuel costs are likely to further pressure our operating and transportation costs. As we are unable to absorb these additional costs, we are forced to pass them on to the market,” said Sonoco’s Karsten Kemmerling, Division Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Industrial Paper Packaging, EMEA.

Sonoco S.a.r.l. is wholly owned by Sonoco and operates 19 tubes and core plants and five paperboard mills in Europe.
