Greif will permanently close the paperboard mill in Los Angeles, California, as part of its previously announced optimization efforts. The Los Angeles mill is expected to cease operation in June 2025.
The mill, which produces both coated recycled paperboard (CRB) and uncoated recycled paperboard (URB) is expected to remove 50,000 tons of CRB and 22,000 tons of URB capacity from the market and will end Greif's coated paperboard production on the West Coast.
In total, approximately 72 positions will be impacted. Closing the Los Angeles Mill is a result of increased costs and limited integration opportunities.
Greif is a global leader in industrial packaging products.
