ELAWARE, Ohio — Greif announced it will exit the coated recycled paperboard (CRB) market with the closure of its Sweetwater paperboard mill in Austell, Georgia. The mill is expected to cease operations by the end of the calendar year. …Approximately 90 employees will be affected by the closure. Greif will provide severance benefits, career transition resources, and other support. …“This is a difficult decision,” said President and CEO Ole Rosgaard. …Sweetwater produces coated recycled paperboard (CRB), uncoated recycled paperboard (URB), and gypsum facing and backing paper grades. The mill’s operating configuration, limited integration within Greif’s network, and cost position have prevented it from establishing a sustainable competitive position. The closure will remove approximately 120,000 tons of annual production capacity.
