Full year results will reflect further acquisition benefits; outlook for corrugated pricing is key

June 23 2014Morning briefing

SECTORS: Paper & Packaging

COMPANIES: DS Smith

DAVY VIEWDS Smith's management remains confident of growing its market share of the European corrugated market through superior product innovation and customer service. We believe that price competition will also be used to achieve this objective which will impede margin progress. We remain cautious on the outlook for the company's share price.

Quality: everyone's responsibility

Producing consistently high quality recycling is essential to provide a continual feedstock to producers and manufacturers. But it is everyone's responsibility to ensure this happens, from the manufacturer to the retailer, consumer and the recycling industry.

Speaking at today's (18 June) CIWM conference, DS Smith Business Development Manager Peter Clayson said: "When dealing with household brands you can't afford to be complacent. Without quality fibre we wouldn't be able to regularly supply brands in the FMCG (fast moving consumer goods) market and retailers with the products they require. We wouldn't be able to help companies in their business activities and keep the UK economy buoyant."

New German containerboard plant announced for end-2016; supply concerns increase


June 12 2014 Morning briefing

SECTORS: Paper & Packaging

COMPANIES: Smurfit Kappa Group | DS Smith | Mondi

DAVY VIEWWhile the spread between recycled containerboard and OCC is not at historic peaks, it appears to be sufficient to merit investment in a new containerboard plant in Germany. Schoellershammer will, however, benefit from locating the machine at its existing facility. In itself, this machine represents just 1% of total European capacity and therefore is not that significant. The real threat for the industry is that this represents the start of a new capacity cycle which will – as in previous cycles – increase supply and put downward pressure on pricing. New containerboard plant represents 1% of total installed capacity baseSchoellershammer, a small German containerboard manufacturer, has announced plans to construct a new 250,000 tonne recycled containerboard mill at its existing facility in Duren in Germany.

The move will double the company's existing capacity and is in response to "a growing market". This is the first new containerboard plant to be announced in Western Europe since 2007 and is clearly not good news for the sector,Now there are two plants planned to come on-stream towards the end of 2016 which will impact 2017 supply – this one and Stora Enso's kraftliner conversion in Finland which represents circa 270,000 tonnes.

Combined, the two plants account for circa 2% of the current total installed based in Europe (kraftliner and recycled containerboard) which in itself is not a huge amount.

The risk is, however, that more plants are built which would have a detrimental impact on supply and pricing.German prices due later today; further weakness could put pressure on corrugated pricesGerman containerboard prices have declined by circa €40/tonne in recent months, giving up two-thirds of the €60/tonne increase achieved in the second half of 2013.

This leaves prices up €20/tonne over the past year which has been fully recovered in corrugated prices. If the RISI index shows further weakness in German prices today, this could put corrugated prices under pressure which clearly would have an impact on 2014 results.
