Article: Sonoco to close Ohio plant.(RIGID PAPER PACKAGING)

Sonoco, Hartsville, S.C., will close its Orrville, Ohio, rigid paper packaging plant by March. The Orrville operation currently employs 84 employees and manufactures fiber cartridges for adhesives and sealants. Sonoco acquired the plant in 2007 as part of its purchase of the fiber containers and industrial plastic carriers assets of Caraustar Industries, Inc.
