“The decision to close these plants is a very difficult one. However, we must embrace the realities of today’s economy and deal with them accordingly. Current market conditions dictate the need to continue to optimize our physical assets and human resources in order to enhance services for our customers and improve operating cost efficiencies,” said Jim Davis, vice president and general manager for the Corrugated Container division.Get curated news on YOUR industry.
