Pallet timber price increase
August 1st 2010

According to the quarterly Pöyry Index, in the second quarter of this year the price of pallet timber from the UK & Ireland and the Baltics increased by the highest percentage since the index began in 2001.

The independently verified Pöyry Index measures timber price movements to the pallet and packaging industry. The June 2010 Purchasing Managers’ Index also highlighted sustained price rises in pallet timber.

TIMCON has warned that this trend will lead its pallet and packaging manufacturer members to increase product prices.
