Makes metal and fiber packaging for consumer and industrial markets. Its Consumer Packaging business includes the Eviosys metal-packaging operation, while a divestiture narrowed the portfolio to packaging.
Produces metal and fiber consumer and industrial packaging. The Consumer Packaging business includes Sonoco Metal Packaging EMEA, formed through the Eviosys acquisition, which makes food and aerosol cans, metal closures, and promotional packaging.
Established from a paper yarn-cone business in Hartsville, South Carolina, it expanded beyond the United States across North and South America, Europe, and other markets.
The sale of Thermoformed and Flexibles Packaging narrowed the portfolio to metal and fiber consumer and industrial packaging. Integrating Eviosys, retaining key personnel, and managing raw-material, energy, transportation, and demand conditions shape current execution.
