Greif has announced it is investing $13 million over the next five years to expand operations at its Greenville County paper mill in South Carolina and increase production capacity, Recycling Today reports. The US packaging producer expects the expansion to be complete in November.
The paper mill uses recycled paperboard to produce spiral tubes and cores, and the company says the expansion will modernize the facility.
"Greif's investment in South Carolina enables us to support our tube and core plants and our customers' growth in this thriving region of the country, » says Tim Bergwall, senior vice president and group president, paper packaging and Soterra LLC, as quoted by Recycling Today.
Greif produces more than 2 million tons annually of 100-percent-recycled paperboard and has three specialty converting facilities.
