Colbert Packaging Corp., a manufacturer of folding cartons, rigid paper boxes and paperboard specialty products, announced Wednesday that it's closing its 33,500-square-foot manufacturing facility in Louisville.
Colbert obtained the facility in its December 2009 acquisition of folding carton manufacturer Dayton Carton. Colbert said in a news release that it will cease operations in Louisville within 60 days.
"With increased manufacturing capacity in our three other production facilities, and in an effort to streamline operations to meet the increasing demand from customers for cost containment, we have made the difficult, albeit necessary, decision to close our Louisville manufacturing plant," said Jim Hamilton, president of Colbert Packaging.
