Finland’s Suominen, a manufacturer of nonwovens as roll goods for wipes and other applications, has announced that its energy costs have increased significantly during the recent months and continue to rise during the coming autumn and winter months. Suominen can no longer absorb the full extent of these unprecedented increases and hence will implement a new energy surcharge on all its products in Europe.

“Suominen has been preparing for energy shortages and mitigating possible energy interruptions in order to secure business continuity. Naturally this comes with additional cost, but we have decided to remain committed to serve our customers during this difficult period,” said Markku Koivisto, SVP Europe, Suominen, in a company press release.

Details of the surcharge will be communicated to customers via Suominen’s sales organisation.
