IP to Close Kalamazoo Box Plant

摘要

After 47 years, International Paper (IP) is closing its Kalamazoo, Mich., operation in mid-September, with 77 people losing their jobs. The Kalamazoo corrugated packaging plant opened in 1965. Severance and other benefits for the workers will be discussed between the company and United Steelworkers Local 946. Some of their other facilities are better able to handle the production needs, says General Manager Scott Dillon.
