Stonewall Packaging closes
SYLVA–The lauded expansion of Sylva’s Jackson Paper Manufacturing Company has come to a halt.
Stonewall Packaging, LLC, launched in spring of 2009, has announced it will close its doors.
The century old Jackson Paper plant that dominates downtown Sylva is not affected by the closing — Stonewall Packaging, located in a renovated facility further out Scotts Creek, will close, eliminating 43 jobs.
Jackson Paper makes corrugating medium — the zig-zag paper inside the walls of cardboard. Stonewall Packaging used the medium to produce complete cardboard.
Company representatives say that a major purchaser of their product backed out, leaving them no choice but to close.
