International Paper announced the consolidation of its operations in the Rio Grande Valley along the United States-Mexico border. The company will make strategic investments to convert the current Edinburg, Texas sheet plant into a warehouse, invest in its current facility in McAllen, Texas to increase capabilities and shift its current Reynosa, Mexico operations to a new, more modern and capable facility that is currently under construction in Reynosa.
The company will close its box plant and sheet plant in Edinburg, Texas. This will affect 117 employees
"The decision to cease operations at our two Edinburg facilities while investing in McAllen and Reynosa allows us to focus our efforts, provide excellent customer experiences and maintain a competitive cost structure that we believe positions us for profitable growth," said Tom Hamic, Executive Vice President and President of Packaging Solutions North America, International Paper.
International Paper is the global leader in sustainable packaging solutions.
