This was attributed to a year-on-year (YoY) 21% increase in revenue, on 31% higher prices of corrugated cardboard products and an increase in the production and sales of jumbo tissue paper rolls by 23,000 tons.

 

Moreover, production costs reduced, and profit margins improved in its subsidiary (Juthor Paper Manufacturing Co.) as a result of the switch from diesel fuel to natural gas, in addition to the return of prices to their normal levels.
