International Paper cutting hundreds of jobs nationwide
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) – Memphis-based International Paper is closing down four facilities across the United States, which will lead to more than 600 employees losing their jobs.
The company announced Thursday it is closing the Red River containerboard mill in Campti, Louisiana, its recycling plant in Phoenix, Arizona, a box plant in Hazleton, Pennsylvania and a sheet feeder facility in St. Louis, Missouri.
Each of these locations will cease operations by the end of April 2025.
A total of 674 employees will be impacted.
“The decision to close any facility is difficult because of the impact on our team members, their families and the surrounding communities,” said Tom Hamic, executive vice president and president, North American Packaging Solutions, International Paper. “We greatly appreciate the contributions from our departing team members and will do all we can to support them.”
The move comes weeks after IP closed a deal with British packaging supplier DS Smith to combine operations.
