Greif To Invest $13M In SC Expansion
With a focus on sustainability, Greif’s recycling group diverts more than four million tons of materials from the waste stream annually, and its Land Management Group manages over 240,000 acres of forests. Greif’s Greenville facility serves as a paper mill that utilizes recycled paperboard for the production of spiral tubes and cores. The expansion is expected to be com- plete in November of 2022.
According to local media reports, Governor Henry McMas- ter and the South Carolina Department of Commerce an- nounced that Greif, a global leader in industrial packaging products and services, plans to expand existing operations in Greenville County. The company is investing $13 million over the next five years. “We are excited to offer increased capabilities within our Taylors facility,” said Tim Bergwall, Greif Senior Vice President, and Group President of Paper Packaging and Soterra LLC. “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.” Greif was founded in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1877. More than 140 years later, the company is strategically located in more than 35 countries to serve its customers in the United States and around the world. The company produc- es steel, plastic, and fibre drums; intermediate bulk con- tainers; containerboard; corrugated packaging; recycled boxboard; tubes; cores, and a variety of other products. “This announcement further proves that South Caro- lina’s talented workforce and pro-business environment allow our companies to thrive,” added McMaster. “We con- gratulate Greif on their expansion project and look forward to working with them as they grow in our state.”

AICC is bringing together two AICC members, Kim Nelson, Owner of Royal Containers, and members of Bobst North America, to discuss the value of forming a partnership with vendors. Attendees will learn that when you create a partner- ship, you see a shorter amount of time to get up to speed on a machine, and it reduces the number of people need- ed in the pressroom. The vendor becomes a valuable re- source and you develop a strong trust factor that leads to success in all areas of your business. Consistency is built as the relationship grows with both becoming part of a stronger team. This webinar is available for free to AICC members.
