International Paper has announced it will close its Carrollton South packaging facility in Carrollton, Texas, by the end of the Q3 2026, as 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.
Employees affected by the closure will receive severance, continued benefits, and outplacement support.
The company regularly evaluates its network to ensure resources are allocated to deliver the greatest value to customers, with this action consistent with that disciplined, long-term strategy.
Keith Townsend, Group Vice President of North America Packaging East at International Paper, stated that decisions affecting people and communities are never made lightly, with the company committed to supporting Carrollton South team members throughout the transition and customers to be serviced at other International Paper facilities in the region.
