HARTSVILLE, S.C.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Sonoco (NYSE: SON), one of the largest diversified global packaging companies, announced today that neither its Hartselle steel reels plant or nailwood/plywood reel producing plant received any damage as a result of last weeka™s violent weather in Alabama. Although the Hartselle area remains impacted by storm-related power outages, both plants are currently operating using power produced by backup generators.
"Both our steel reels plant and the nailwood/plywood reels plant were switched to back-up generators over the weekend and are currently operating"
aFortunately, none of our associates in Hartselle were physically injured by the dangerous storms,a said James Harrell, vice president, Industrial Carriers, N.A. aBoth plants suffered temporary disruptions in service due to the power outages, so our Jefferson, Texas, Sonoco Reels plant operated throughout the weekend to handle any unexpected customer emergencies.
aBoth our steel reels plant and the nailwood/plywood reels plant were switched to back-up generators over the weekend and are currently operating,a added Harrell. aBecause ita™s unclear how long both facilities will be on temporary power, we are asking our customers to work closely with their normal customer service contacts to distinguish between forecast and more immediate demand requirements.a
