Soaring international prices of paper pulp has impacted performance.
| |||
To cite only the case of Med Paper (listed company), it posted revenues down 8.47% at end-June 2010 mainly due to erratic changes in prices of this matter at the international, especially as the pulp is about 58% of inputs, mainly from cellulose Morocco. The rest is in turn, imported from Europe, and depending on availability and offers on the market International. Thus, to improve its performance, the company, which expects to start the third production line early in the second half of 2010 to increase production by 30% and also the turnover, plans to negotiate contracts for the purchase of pulp for two years, in order to guard against a possible outbreak. For the group MCPC, whose business is paper mill in 2010 marked a recovery of volumes of more than 10% (driven both by good growth in exports but also by improving the offer including the boxboard), the approach is another.
"Speculation on the subject is always risky and we are very careful to follow more closely at our conditions of supply to avoid breaks and stay in the current market conditions. This approach, unlike the vast majority of our international competition, also enabled us to maintain very short delivery times, "said Philippe d'Adhemar Chief Stationery Group MCPC in Kenitra. Thus, as to avoid direct impact on margins while customer loyalty, management had to act cautiously. "In a context of crisis and slow economic recovery, our policy was to absorb the maximum fluctuations. Thus, we have only partially reflected the impact, "he said.
The group, whose business is focused on packaging paper box with two product lines namely flat cardboard and corrugated paper has also benefited this year developing a new coating improves rendering printing of cartons, but also new products that meet the expectations of the domestic market. Innovation, improving quality and distribution remain strengths underlying the large companies operating in this sector to maintain or develop their positioning. Some even play the map environment to differentiate themselves. This is particularly true of the group MCPC, a subsidiary of International Paper.
"We are launching phase of a sewage wastewater to ensure environmentally responsible manufacturing in line with the National Charter for the Environment and Sustainable Development," said Philippe d'Adhemar . Currently, there are no environmental regulations in Morocco specific about the paper industry, with particular emphasis on upgrading its waste minimization and the impact of his last on the environment.
standardization of the production process to the image of environmental constraints applied in Europe could corner the operators to commit significant investment to comply with the law.

Unfair Competition
Industries in the paper industry operating in a domestic environment characterized by large informal sector, where common practices of sales without VAT which represent the bulk of the sales matters relating to the sector. There are also the imports, excluding VAT and customs duties, paper Publishing, whose destination is often diverted to other purposes for future flood the informal market. It is the same for imports of other types of printing and writing paper, often under-invoiced, thus leading to unfair competition. These practices encouraged by the existence of barriers to entry should logically lose their meaning with the dismantling of tariff barriers under way.
