Sonoco, an international provider of diversified consumer packaging, announced on 5/20/2019 that it will be acquiring Corenso Holdings America for approximately $110 million in cash. Corenso specializes in manufacturing uncoated recycled paperboard (URB) and high-performance cores used in paper, packaging films, tape, and specialty industries.
