Sonoco will start offering semi-chemical corrugating medium from its Hartsville, S.C., mill beginning January 1, 2010.
Sonoco has been manufacturing high-quality, low-cost medium paperboard through its #10 machine in Hartsville since 1957, according to Jim Bowen, senior VP, Primary Materials Group. “Our mills and our skilled paper makers have an excellent reputation for quality and service, and we are well positioned to serve much of the United States as well as select export markets.
“The Hartsville #10 machine has 170,000 tons of annual capacity and, for the past 52 years, we have offered that capacity exclusively through contract relationships. We believe the market is now ready for a proven, independent and financially sound producer in the Southeast, and we’re excited about our opportunity to take on that role.”
