PR Newswire (US)
ATLANTA, Nov. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Caraustar Industries,
Inc. (NASDAQ:CSAR), a major supplier of recycled paperboard
products in North America, today announced the consolidation of its
two operations in Saginaw, Michigan into one new facility located
at 3265 Commerce Centre. The two older facilities were
turn-of-the-century, multi-storied buildings and were not designed
for efficient manufacturing operations. The new facility provides
more streamlined operations while reducing work in process and
materials handling costs. The consolidation continues Caraustar's
cost reduction strategy in geographic markets while ensuring
long-term sustainability and competitiveness. The new facility
allows for better and more efficient layout of machinery and
processes. As a result, Caraustar will dispose of redundant assets,
eliminate certain annual fixed costs, improve productivity, reduce
direct labor costs and increase its ability to focus on new product
development. Paul Curtis, vice president and regional manager,
stated, "This move is a significant commitment to our Saginaw
operations, customers and employees. It positions the operation to
continue to be the first choice provider of tubes to the automotive
industry. This consolidation will improve productivity while
reducing manufacturing costs; which are necessary in today's
competitive environment." Caraustar Industries, Inc. is one of
North America's largest integrated manufacturers of 100% recycled
paperboard and converted paperboard products. The company is a
socially responsible corporation, is committed to environmentally
sound practices and is dedicated to providing customers with
outstanding value through innovative products and services.
Caraustar has developed its leadership position in the industry
through diversification and integration from raw materials to

boxboard product end-use markets: tubes and cores; folding cartons;
