On Thursday, March 11, 2010, AICC released the following statement regarding the recent
$60 per ton increase in containerboard prices.
“The major integrated producers of containerboard have announced an increase of
$60 per ton for most grades effective in April. Members of the Association of
Independent Corrugated Converters (AICC) challenge these increases when current
box demand remains sluggish and the implementation of the $50/ton increase in
January 1 has yet to be completed. AICC believes this increase is too much, too soon and too burdensome for
independents and their customers to absorb”.... Read full statement.

AICC / FBA Joint Session in San Diego
Climate change and its causes will be the subject of a rigorous debate on

James Taylor, managing editor of Environment & Climate News, will debate Tam Hunt, president of Community Renewable Solutions

Several well-run box companies have managed in the past year to gain market
share while increasing profitability. They have done this in a down market with
fewer people doing more and by doing more at a higher level than their
competition. This is a positive thing. Yet simultaneously, these companies are
feeling productivity demands quite acutely as they move forward into the still
uncertain economic future... Read complete article.
