North America and Europe. Since becoming COO in 2020, Fuller has been responsible for the Company’s global con- sumer and industrial operations as well as its diversified businesses and Information Technology. Sonoco does not intend to appoint a successor to the COO position, and the president of each business unit of the Company will report directly to Howard Coker, Presi- dent and CEO. “It’s been my honor to work along-side so many talent- ed people at Sonoco and participate in the extraordinary progress we have achieved during my tenure in transform- ing the company into a global leader in consumer and in- dustrial metal and paper packaging,” Fuller said.
“The demand for lumber in North America remains weak, requiring us to adjust our production levels in line with market conditions,” said Luc Thériault, CEO, Wood Products, and President – Canada, for Domtar. “While this decision is necessary, we are fully aware of the impact it will have on our employees, contractors, suppliers and the communities in which we operate.”
