Packaging Co., Southern Container Corp., J&J Corrugated Box Corp. and others.Data contained in this report is unofficial and cannot be verified by McCoy Corporation. Estimates are based upon industry
sources as of 1997. The above chart shows that the mergers of Jefferson-Smurfit & Stone Container make the combined company the largest supplier of corrugated containers in the U.S. The merger of International
Paper (IP) and Union Camp makes IP the second largest supplier. Smurfit-Stone and IP now manufacture almost 30% of the corrugated containers in the U.S. The two companies are also the largest two manufacturers of
linerboard. McCoy Corporation makes no representation that buying from a larger supplier will result in better prices, quality or service. |
