    Packaging Corp to shutter Washington facility, cutting 200 jobs and incurring $205 million charge

    Packaging Corporation of America will close its Washington facility, cutting 200 jobs and incurring a $205 million charge. The reconfiguration at the Wallula mill aims to reduce production costs by $125 per ton and cut 250,000 tons of annual capacity, with enhancements at other mills planned for late 2026. The decision follows lower-than-expected third-quarter profits due to high costs and subdued demand.
