Paperboard Packaging, Nov, 2003

Companies are represented in two ways: by product category and alphabetized by state or province. The product category section lists companies and phone numbers by product category by state. The alphabetical by state section contains complete company listings. BRANCH PLANTS (BP) directly owned by any one company are shown under the company's headquarters listing. A star (H) denotes a regional office and a (|) denotes a branch plant. SUBSIDIARIES (Sub Co) or AFFILIATES (Af Co), if applicable, are shown under each plant listing. Product categories and equipment are designated according to the legend on this page. INTEGRATED PLANT (Int) or INDEPENDENT PLANT (Ind) is also indicated as well as ISO certified plants (ISO).
