Druckspiegel

Corrugators and printers serving leading brands with high-performance packaging and displays rely on the consistent availability of premium coated and uncoated liner board. In recent years extensive internal cost and efficiency initiatives, including organisational restructuring and operational optimisation were implemented. Despite these actions, continued price erosion has created a widening gap between structural costs and the pricing levels required to maintain a sustainable and reliable supply. To address this imbalance, Sappi Europe will implement a price increase of 7% to 8% on coated and uncoated premier Fusion Liner board, effective 1 April 2026.

Across all industries, cultivating a diverse and inclusive workplace is increasingly recognised as valuable and essential to long-term success. However, despite the print industry’s significant advancements in technology and innovation, visible representation of women remains limited. As the sector grapples with low recruitment, it’s important to challenge outdated perceptions. Creating real change, however, requires collective effort - no single company can do it alone.

Der Bundesverband Druck und Medien e.V. (BVDM) begrüßt die Herausnahme von Lieferaufträgen aus dem Anwendungsbereich des Bundestariftreuegesetzes. Damit ist der Bundestag gestern einer zentralen Forderung des BVDM gefolgt. Ohne diese Korrektur wären im Inland produzierende Unternehmen bei öffentlichen Aufträgen gegenüber ausländischen Anbietern deutlich benachteiligt worden, da letztere nicht die gleichen Tarifvorgaben haben. Noch ist das Bundestariftreuegesetz aber nicht verabschiedet, da noch der Bundesrat zustimmen muss.
