Lubrizol forecasts 3Q profit above Street view | finance.yahoo.com

Lubrizol and Newmarket both recently announced drastically improved sequential profit margins in a difficult general business environment. The doubling in run rate operating margins in 2009 suggests a structural change in the supplier customer price negotiation process.

The key requirement is that suppliers mange their product profile to help improve their customers profitability.

Flexible Packaging Industry depends on Consumer Spending for Growth

October 13, 2009

Flexible packaging will return to growth in 2011 | www.europeanplasticsnews.com

Flexible packaging volume growth is highly dependent upon the growth of consumer products, particularly non-discretionary products such as food. Value growth is dependent upon volume as well as pricing which has been under pressure in 2009 as the inputs associated with oil have dropped in price forcing packaging producers to pass on much of the decrease. Value will likely be down this year but volume will not.
