Summary
International Paper announced it will permanently close its box plant in South Carrollton (a Dallas suburb) by the end of Q3 2026 as part of broader manufacturing footprint alignments. Nearly all of the facility's 45 hourly and 19 salaried employees — a total of 64 workers — will be affected and are eligible to apply for openings at other IP facilities; the company plans to provide severance, benefits and outplacement support. The closure will not impact a nearby recycling center, and customers will be served by other regional IP plants. The move is one of several recent IP shutdowns and layoffs since October 2024, which the company says are intended to strengthen competitiveness amid challenging market conditions and follow an optimization strategy introduced by the CEO.
International Paper Company cut 64 jobs in TX affecting its box plant (manufacturing/packaging) team as of September 15, 2026.
