Nevertheless, some industry players were successful in fueling volume growth outside of Europe and improved pricing and favorable product mix went some way to offsetting currency exchange headwinds.

Furthermore, improved efficiency, minimized energy, recycled fiber and chemical costs helped some companies to contain rising costs. Others seem to be focusing on acquisitions as a way into new geographies and markets. While the potential for growth via strategic acquisitions is huge, concerns remain regarding the highly leveraged state which can ensue.
