Market Conditions Could Push RockTenn on Capacity Decisions

RockTenn, Norcross, Ga., USA, has completed the acquisition of Smurfit Stone Container Corp., Chicago, Ill, (see article above), making it the No.2 player in North America, Mike Wilde, senior analyst with Deutsche Bank, points out, noting that the challenge for Jim Rubright and company now is to integrate Smurfit Stone with RockTenn. "We think uneven market conditions may prompt RockTenn to make capacity decisions sooner rather than later," he says.
