Aug 12, 2008. /Lesprom.com/. Graphic Packaging International, Inc., a subsidiary of Graphic Packaging Holding Company, announced that it plans to close several folding carton facilities and transition business to other U.S. operating locations as it continues to aggressively implement integration plans to achieve previously announced operating synergies. Additionally, Graphic Packaging has recently reorganized sales and operations in its specialty inks and coatings business to further drive completion of its integration goals by 2010. These changes also ensure that customers are reliably supported from a solid network of efficient, low-cost facilities. The Company's carton facilities in Greensboro, North Carolina and Richmond, Virginia, are expected to discontinue production around the end of 2008, and the folding carton plant in Smyrna, Tennessee, is expected to close during 1Q 2009.
