The US-based plants are located in Birmingham, AL, Jonesboro, AR and Santa Fe Springs, CA. Existing business will be transitioned to nearby RockTenn facilities.
“This action is a necessary first step in realigning the box plant system of RockTenn following the acquisition of Smurfit-Stone,” said Jim Rubright, chairman and CEO. “We plan to take many actions in the next year to maximise the efficiency of our manufacturing processes as well as to reduce costs and eliminate redundancies throughout our operations as we move forward to achieve the operating synergy that we anticipate from the Smurfit-Stone acquisition.”
