Summary
Graphic Packaging International announced it will permanently close its coated recycled paperboard manufacturing facility in Middletown, Ohio, a closure slated for around June 1, 2025. The company said approximately 130 employees will be affected and that it will provide employment placement assistance and support to impacted workers. The closure is part of a consolidation of recycled paperboard production into newer mills in Kalamazoo, Michigan (K2) and the upcoming Waco, Texas facility, with the timing moved up due to confidence in Waco's startup and available inventory/production capacity elsewhere. GPI also previously decommissioned a Kalamazoo machine and has flagged an additional planned closure in East Angus, Quebec, as part of the consolidation effort.
