IP to Shutter Minden, La., Box Plant

摘要

International Paper (IP) says it will permanently close its corrugated container plant in Minden, La., by July 17, resulting in the loss of approximately 60 jobs, the Shreveport Timesrcports. "Following the merger with Temple-Inland, we have more capacity than our customers need in this area," says Doug Strickel, region general manager. "Other area facilities are better positioned to handle the production requirements that will be necessary as we consolidate our operations and, unfortunately, that led to the decision to close this plant."
