Sonoco Launches New URB Machine at Hartsville Mill

摘要

Sonoco in October announced that the new uncoated recycled paperboard(URB)#10 machine is operational as part of its previously announced Project Horizon-the $ 125 million investment to transform its former corrugated medium machine in Hartsville,South Carolina,to a state-of-the-art URB operation.Project Horizon was initiated,in part,to ensure the long-term viability and sustain-ability of Sonoco's 100-year-old Hartsville Mill Complex,at which the company produces almost one-third of its U.S.and Canadian URB.The introduction of the new operation is projected to drive $30 million in annual cost savings by 2024 and will ensure the mill remains globally competitive.
