New Indy Containerboard
packaging Ontario, CA · Private
New Indy Containerboard is facing significant regulatory and legal challenges related to pollution violations at its South Carolina facility, with allegations of cancer-causing compounds seeping into the Catawba River and claims the company misled environmental agencies. The company is also reportedly divesting its York County paper mill for $300M, suggesting portfolio restructuring amid operational pressures.
New Indy Containerboard is an independent manufacturer and supplier of recycled containerboard and virgin linerboard formed in 2012 as a 50/50 joint venture between the Kraft Group and Schwarz Partners LP. The company operates four paper mills producing nearly 1 million tons of containerboard annually, plus a network of corrugated box converting plants across the United States.
