International Paper, a leader in sustainable packaging, today announced it will close its Carrollton South packaging facility located in Carrolton, Texas by the end of the third quarter of 2026. The decision is part of the company's ongoing work to align its manufacturing footprint with customer demand and strengthen the long-term competitiveness of its North America packaging business.
International Paper regularly evaluates its network to ensure resources are allocated to deliver the greatest value to customers. This action is consistent with that disciplined, long-term strategy.
"Decisions that affect our people and our communities are never made lightly. We're committed to supporting our Carrollton South team members throughout this transition," said Keith Townsend, Group Vice President, North America Packaging East, International Paper. "Customers will be serviced at other International Paper facilities in the region."
Employees affected by the closure will receive severance, continued benefits and outplacement support.
