Sonoco Opens First of its Kind Innovation Center

Sullivan said that large consumer product companies, like P&G, are asking suppliers to provide a wider range of their packaging supply chain needs, and Sonoco is uniquely positioned to provide the broadest offerings of packaging products and services in the industry on a global basis.

The 9,150-square-foot Innovation Center will house personnel representing many of Sonoco’s total solution offerings of packaging products and services. The center will house technology, marketing and account management representing the Company’s full range of packaging capabilities, including rigid paper and plastic containers, printed flexible packaging, and plastic and metal ends and closures. The facility will also house designers, structural engineers, supply chain and account managers for Sonoco CorrFlex, which provides temporary, semipermanent and permanent point-of-purchase displays and fulfillment services. In addition, Sonoco-Trident, a recognized leader in managing global brands, will open its first U.S.-based graphics brand management service in the Cincinnati area.
