Business Summary
Sonoco Products Company is a global industrial and consumer packaging manufacturer headquartered in Hartsville, South Carolina, founded in 1899. The company operates approximately 265 manufacturing and converting facilities across 37 countries, employing roughly 22,000 people (35% US-based, 42% Europe). Sonoco is a vertically integrated packaging business with 19 paper mills and 16 recycling facilities, enabling it to source recycled fiber for its paperboard-based products. In fiscal 2025 the company completed a major portfolio transformation: it acquired Eviosys (Europe's leading food cans and ends manufacturer) for $3.8B in December 2024, and divested its Thermoformed Packaging (TFP) business to Toppan for $1.8B in April 2025 and ThermoSafe temperature-assured packaging to Arsenal Capital for $656M in November 2025. These moves sharpened Sonoco's focus on metal and paper-based packaging for consumer staples and industrial end markets.
