MEMPHIS, Tennessee — International Paper announced the closure of its packaging facilities in Compton, California and Louisville, Kentucky. The facilities will cease operations by January 2026. All customers will be serviced from other nearby locations. The Compton facility closure will impact 125 employees, while the Louisville facility closure will impact 93 employees. The company will work to minimize the impact on employees by using attrition, retirements and current vacancies at other International Paper locations. …”Making the decision to close a facility is incredibly difficult, especially knowing the impact it has on our team members and their families,” said Tom Hamic, executive VP and president. “We are sincerely grateful for the contributions of our departing team members, and we are fully committed to supporting them through this transition.”
