Greif (NYSE: GEF), a global industrial packaging company, announced the permanent closure of two production facilities. The company will cease operations of the Number 1 Paperboard Machine (A1) in Austell, GA, and close its containerboard and uncoated recycled paperboard (URB) mill in Fitchburg, MA. These strategic actions will impact approximately 140 positions and reduce the company's containerboard capacity by 100,000 tons and URB capacity by 90,000 tons.
The closure of A1, a non-integrated URB asset, is attributed to increased costs and declining demand in furniture, books, and binders markets. The Fitchburg mill closure decision was driven by high operating costs and required significant capital investment. Production will cease at A1 by the end of March 2025 and at Fitchburg by May 2025. The company will provide severance benefits and outplacement assistance to affected employees.
