Graphic Packaging To Close Facilities

The company also plans to close a multiwall bag packaging facility, located in Cantonment, Fla., by the end of the third quarter of 2009, and redeploy production to other company manufacturing sites in the U.S. to improve operating efficiencies in its specialty bag business and further strengthen synergy savings expected from the combination of Altivity Packaging, LLC and Graphic Packaging Corporation, completed in the first quarter of 2008.
