Inland Paperboard Completes Rock Hill, SC, Restructuring

Inland Paperboard & Packaging has completed its Rock Hill, SC, restructuring, cutting 55 of its 89 workers at its Rock Hill Industrial Park plant. The company moved part of its production to a plant in Lexington County. No further major Rock Hill cuts are anticipated, said spokeswoman Donna Reynolds.

"For all practical purposes, we're finished (cutting)," Reynolds said. She added that the move was made for "operational efficiencies."

The Indianapolis-based company makes corrugated cardboard boxes and packages at the 182,000 sq-ft plant. Formerly known as Inland Container Corp., the company has about $2 billion in annual sales, which represents 65% of revenue of parent Temple-Inland. Inland Paperboard, which has 46 plants across the United States, cut 140 workers out of 9,000 through a separate reduction earlier this year and had another 130 accept early retirement.
