THIS WEEK'S MARKET ROUNDUP
WOOD COSTS were 53% of the total production costs for pulp mills worldwide in the first quarter of this year, according to Wood Resource Quarterly (WRQ), Seattle, Wash., USA, drawing from data in the Fisher International database. Both the relative and nominal costs of wood have declined during the past year, with wood fiber costs in the second quarter at their lowest levels in more than two years, WRQ notes.
Wood cost is often the No. 1 factor determining competitiveness of a pulp mill. This cost typically varies between 40% and 65% of the total cash cost depending on product grade and the costs of other components such as chemicals, energy, and labor, WRQ explains. Countries with the lowest wood cost component (as a percentage of total manufacturing cost) were New Zealand, Russia, and Western Canada. Japan. China and Finland had the highest wood cost percentages. The current issue of WRQ shows historical trends for each country.
Average wood fiber costs for pulp manufacturers worldwide have fallen by about 15% during the past 12 months, WRQ continues. The Global Conifer Wood Fiber Index (GCFI) was at $90.01/odmt and the Global Non-Conifer Wood Fiber Index (GNCFI) was $94.92/odmt in the second quarter. The biggest price decline for conifer fiber occurred in Finland, Germany, and Russia, while non-conifer wood costs have fallen the most in France, Japan, Germany, and Finland. Wood fiber costs appear to have bottomed-out in many markets and likely will begin increasing later this year, WRQ concludes.
PAPER DEMAND in North America and Western Europe during the next 15 years will shrink 23% and 20%, while Eastern Europe and Asia will grow 49% and 39%, respectively, according to the first of an annual set of 15-year forecasts released this week by RISI (Boston, Mass., USA). In North America, aggregate paper demand is the lowest seen since the mid-1980s, the report notes. The current recession represents an acceleration of a predominately structural decline started post-2001. In the case of printing and writing papers, 24 years of growth have been wiped out in less than two years. The market will average 2% declines through 2024, at which point the market will have contracted an additional 18% from today's levels, the report predicts.
In Western Europe, the report forecasts that in every paper and newsprint grade and in every major end use, demand in 2024 will be less than in 2009. Western European graphic paper in 2024 is expected to be 20% less than 2009 levels, thus representing 6.6 million metric tons of loss. Eastern European markets will be increasing, but will not reach the per capita usage levels of Western Europe until after 2024. Additionally, low cost producers in Asia have been increasing their exports when their domestic demand has fallen, thus displacing further European producers.
China is the dominant paper growth story in the world, the RISI report emphasizes. Having eclipsed the U.S. as the world's largest producer of paper in 2008, the trend looks to continue. However, within the forecast period RISI predicts that consumers and advertisers will focus more on the Internet and the growth story will moderate. This represents a significant development that is not currently occurring in China, but is expected to develop shortly. More information is available online.
AHLSTROM reports that it will temporarily layoff approximately 260 employees at its specialty products plant at Karhula, Finland. Some 200 will be blue-collar employees, with the remaining 60 being white-collar employees. The duration of the layoffs is estimated to be 90 days, at the most, and will be carried out during the latter part of this year. Ahlstrom's plant in Karhula is part of the company's Glass and Industrial Nonwovens business area. It employs about 360 employees, of which roughly 260 are blue-collar and 100 are white-collar employees. The company produces nonwovens and specialty papers used in the manufacture of filters, wipes, flooring, labels, tapes, etc.
AMCOR, Melbourne, Australia, has offered to acquire parts of Alcan Packaging, Paris, France, from the U.K.-based Rio Tinto Group for $2.025 billion, including Alcan Packaging Global Pharmaceuticals, Alcan Packaging Food Europe, Alcan Packaging Food Asia, and Alcan Packaging Global Tobacco. The combined company will be one of the world's leading packaging companies. The parts of Alcan that Amcor if offering to acquire would add some $4.1 billion in sales and 14,000 employees across 80 plants in 28 countries. The proposed acquisition will also support Amcor's objective of growing in its strategic business areas of flexible packaging and folding cartons packaging. Closing of the acquisition is not expected to occur for several months.
KADANT INC., Westford, Mass., USA, this week announced that William Rainville will become executive chairman and Jonathan Painter will be named CEO and a director effective January 3, as part of a succession plan adopted by the board of directors. Painter has been promoted to president and COO effective September 1. The company also announced that Eric Langevin will become COO and an executive VP effective January 3. Both Painter and Langevin are currently executive officers of the company. Painter has been an executive VP of the company for 12 years, and served in several capacities, most recently as head of the company's fiberline businesses, consisting of its stock preparation and fiber-based product lines. Langevin has been a senior VP and head of the company's paperline businesses, consisting of its paper machine accessory equipment, fluid-handling, and water management product lines, since 2006.
KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL NORTH AMERICA, Roswell, Ga., USA, reports that it has received Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) chain-of-custody certification for a broad range of tissue and towel products, making it the first away-from-home tissue products provider in North America to receive this distinction. The certification applies to a variety of the company's tissue products marketed under the Kleenex and Scott brand names for the away-from-home market. The products will feature the FSC label on their packaging starting next month.
MOORIM PAPER GROUP has ordered a new integrated line to produce woodfree coated, machine finished coated, and woodfree uncoated paper grades at its DongHae pulp mill in Ulsan, South Korea. The new PM 1 will have the capacity to produce some 450,000 metric tpy of fine papers in a basis weight range of 75 to 150 g/m2 according to supplier Voith Paper of Germany. It will have a wire width of 9,300 mm and a design speed of 1,500 m/min. Startup is scheduled for spring 2011. With the new machine, Moorim's total fine paper production will increase to more than 1 million metric tpy, making it the largest fine paper producer in South Korea. Moorim also produces fine papers at its Jinju and Daegu mills in South Korea.
PACKAGED GOODS MANUFACTURERS WILL BOOST SPENDING IN 2010, according to a new report released this past week. Titled Global Packaging and Converting Industry Outlook to 2010: Buyer Spend and Procurement Strategies and the Impact of Recession and Recovery, the new report, published by Global Markets Direct in association with ICD Research and marketed by Research and Markets of Dublin, Ireland, analyzes how the consumer goods manufacturer's packaging business is being affected by the recession. In the report, buyers identify what suppliers need to do to maintain their business and the key actions being taken by industry players to overcome the leading business threats. About 41% of packaged goods manufacturers are looking to actively boost their spend on packaging and related services over the next 12 months, and a further 28% are looking to maintain it at current levels. However, with many claiming to be re-evaluating their supplier base, the market open to competition is expected to increase during the coming year. Some 43% of packaging buyers are seeking to engage in partnerships to optimize working capital and reduce costs, the report notes. Closer cooperation between suppliers and buyers is being sought during this time of market uncertainty. Only 21% of industry buyers do not regularly evaluate suppliers to ensure they meet high ethical and environmental standards. More information is available online.
PCA (Packaging Corp. of America), Lake Forest, Ill., USA, has announced the retirement of William Sweeney as executive VP of Corrugated Products, effective September 15. He will continue in an "emeritus relationship" with the company and serve in an advisory capacity structured to continue through 2011. Thomas Hassfurther, a 32-year veteran of PCA and currently senior VP, Sales and Marketing, will replace Sweeney. Hassfurther currently serves as chairman of the Fibre Box Association. Sweeney, also a past chairman of the Fibre Box Association, has been with PCA since 1990 and has worked in the corrugated products industry since 1966.
SCA, Stockholm, Sweden, reported today that it has begun a search for a new president of SCA Packaging Europe, noting that Phil Almond, current president, will leave his position. Meanwhile, David Stead, CFO, will take on the duty as acting president. According to SCA, the European packaging business is facing major industry challenges. SCA Packaging represents some 25% of the Group’s sales, but its profits have decreased sharply and now represents only 2% of the Group’s profit, the company said. An efficiency-improvement program, resulting in SEK 1,070m in lower annual costs, was launched for the European packaging operations during the spring. The program, SCA reports, is running according to plan, adding, however, that “further adaptations to the market conditions remain and calls for a leadership capable of leading major changes and with thorough industrial experience.”
SINCLAIR GROUP, Woodlands, Texas, USA, has formed a joint venture with Vision Hunters Oy, a European-based strategy consulting company. The JV combines strategy and operations into one management consulting company, which will serve the forest products and related industries throughout Europe. Markku Tynkkynen has been named president of the joint venture. Tynkkynen's work history includes 27 years of service with UPM-Kymmene, including numerous roles in technology, business development, and operations. Prior to joining Vision Hunters, he was UPM-Kymmene's executive VP responsible for global business functions. Henri Haggblom will interface as leader of Sinclair Group's Global Forest Products Business. Haggblom's work history includes more than 20 years with several European and U.S. paper companies, including 13 years at International Paper where his most recent position was director of corporate strategic planning.
