International Paper to exit molded fiber market, sell select Mexico sites
This story was originally published on Packaging Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Packaging Dive newsletter. International Paper on Thursday announced a slew of changes to its North American operations, including exiting the molded fiber market entirely and closing or selling multiple facilities. This is all part of IP's 'ongoing transformation' to sharpen its focus, according to the announcement. IP is making changes at the following U.S. sites, collectively impacting some 110 hourly and 24 salaried workers: Closing a packaging facility in Marion, Ohio, come Sept. 1, which an IP spokesperson said will affect 107 employees. IP's website lists its Marion site as a container plant. This capacity will be absorbed elsewhere in IP's network. Closing its recycling facility in Wichita, Kansas, come July 31, affecting 16 employees. This capacity will be eliminated. Converting a Reno, Nevada, facility that had been supporting its molded fiber business to instead support its packaging business. This change, happening on or before July 31, will affect 11 employees. This was IP's sole production site for its 'relatively small product line' in molded fiber, which included wine packaging systems, according to Amy Simpson, head of corporate communications and corporate marketing. 'Given the small market for this product, the decision was made to streamline our operations and focus investments on products and facilities that best meet our customers' needs,' she said in an email. The company is also immediately selling some assets in Mexico to Mexican packaging and materials company Acabados de Papeles Satinados y Absorbentes, or APSA. This includes one containerboard mill and one recycling plant in Xalapa, east of Mexico City near the shore, along with another recycling plant in Apodaca, near Monterrey, closer to Texas. RBC Capital Markets highlighted in a note to investors that International Paper acquired the Xalapa mill from forest products company Weyerhaeuser in 2008, estimating its capacity as 'relatively small,' between 25,000 and 30,000 metric tons per year. IP reported that APSA intends to retain current on-site staff. Following these sales, International Paper will still have numerous other facilities in Mexico. With all of these changes, IP said that it's 'committed to minimizing the impact through job placement in existing vacancies, retirements and other internal opportunities,' and that affected employees will receive severance and outplacement support where possible. 'While difficult, these decisions will help enable IP to prioritize the right geographies, customers and products and make investments in resources to support our growth in sustainable packaging,' said Tom Hamic, president of North American packaging solutions, in a statement. In a note to investors, Michael Roxland, Truist Securities senior paper and packaging analyst, called these decisions 'consistent with IP's 80/20 strategy to streamline its North American operations and optimize its box plant and mill footprint.' The 80/20 strategy, championed by CEO Andy Silvernail, embraces the idea that 80% of results come from 20% of efforts, inspiring a more focused approach. The company is aligning investments and resources to prioritize key customers and reduce complexity and cost. Other recent changes that IP has announced include restructuring its footprint along the U.S.-Mexico border, namely closing a box plant and sheet plant in Edinburg, Texas, and shifting some operations to Reynosa, Mexico. Earlier this year, the company also announced facility closures in Arizona, Louisiana, Missouri and Pennsylvania.

North American airlines targeted by cyberattacks
At least two North American airlines have been victims of criminal hackers recently as cybersecurity companies warn that a notorious cybercriminal group has been targeting the aviation industry. Westjet and Hawaii Airlines both said in June statements that they are responding to cyberattacks. American Airlines also experienced a tech issue on Friday, though it's unclear if it was related or caused in any way by hackers. "A technology issue is affecting connectivity for some of our systems and we are working with our partners to fully resolve the issue," an American Airlines spokesperson said in a statement. "Though we are experiencing delays as a result, we have not canceled any flights at this time." Cybersecurity companies that work directly with companies hit by hackers usually refrain from talking about specific victims, citing nondisclosure agreements. But both Google and Palo Alto Networks said Friday that they have observed a particularly effective cybercriminal group, nicknamed Scattered Spider by the cybersecurity industry, that tries to hack companies involved in aviation. Scattered Spider is a loosely affiliated group of young, mostly English-speaking men who are extremely adept at sweet-talking their way into sensitive computer access at large companies. From there, they often hand that access to outside cybercriminals who install ransomware — malicious software that locks up computers, rendering them inoperable — and then demand an extortion payment. The group has been tied to attacks on Las Vegas casinos in 2023 and British department stores earlier this year. After Google warned that Scattered Spider was targeting American retailers, a cyberattack hobbled a top Whole Foods supplier, leading to empty shelves across the country. Charles Carmakal, the chief technology officer of Mandiant, Google's cloud security company, said in an emailed statement that it was tracking "multiple incidents in the airline and transportation sector" where Scattered Spider had broken in. "We are still working on attribution and analysis, but given the habit of this actor to focus on a single sector we suggest that the industry take steps immediately to harden systems," he said. Details on the effects of the attacks on airlines are still sparse. A WestJet spokesperson told NBC News in an email that the company first noticed it had been hacked on June 13 and has made "significant progress" to resolve it. Hawaiian Airlines said in a Friday filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that it discovered on Monday that it had been hacked and that "Flights are currently operating safely and as scheduled." Neither company responded to questions about whether any flights had been canceled or delayed because of the attacks.

Vilmorin & Cie and KWS to sell North American Joint Venture AgReliant Genetics to GDM
Paris (France), June 27th, 2025 Vilmorin & Cie and KWS to sell North American Joint Venture AgReliant Genetics to GDM Vilmorin & Cie and KWS today announced that they have signed a binding agreement with GDM, a global leader in soybean, to both sell their entire respective 50% stake and exit the AgReliant Genetics ('AgReliant') joint venture. Founded in 2000 as a joint venture between Vilmorin & Cie (Field Seeds Business – 'Limagrain Field Seeds') and KWS, AgReliant has grown to become a leading agricultural company in North America, focused on the research, production, and sale of seeds, primarily corn and soybean. At the time of its creation, the partners joined forces to strengthen their presence in North America. Going forward, AgReliant will continue to pursue its mission of providing innovative seed products, benefiting from GDM's global reach and proven genetic expertise. GDM's cutting-edge assets and deep expertise will further strengthen AgReliant's corn and soy seeds offering for North American farmers. This transaction marks an important milestone for Vilmorin & Cie, enabling to further focus on its strategic priorities and to reinforce its other territories as it continues advancing on its Ambition 2030 roadmap. Vilmorin & Cie through its Field Seeds business – Limagrain Field Seeds will retain the know-how, and all corn genetic materials co-developed with KWS over the last 25 years. This transaction does not impact Vilmorin & Cie's other seeds activities in the U.S. and Canada. In addition, Vilmorin & Cie remains committed to its global ambition, with corn as one of our core crops. Its development strategy will continue to rely on a strong global footprint, sustained investment across all innovative breeding tools and methods and robust research partnerships. Collectively, these will support the continuous improvement of field seeds varieties to better serve farmers worldwide. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close during the third quarter of 2025. The total transaction amount for the Vilmorin & Cie shares in AgReliant and related germplasm is in the low three-digit range, in millions of US dollars. Further details remain confidential. After the transaction is finalized, GDM will become the sole owner of AgReliant. ABOUT VILMORIN & CIE The 4 th largest seed company in the world, pure play in its sector, Vilmorin & Cie creates, produces and distributes seeds for vegetable and field seeds with high added value, contributing to meeting global food requirements in a context of accelerating climatic, environmental and demographic challenges. Vilmorin & Cie is a historical expert in plant breeding, with around 6,000 varieties in its portfolio and several hundred new varieties marketed each year. It has become an international leader, offering all forms of agriculture, on all continents, the capacity to produce more and to produce better, while preserving the independence and freedom of choice of farmers and vegetable growers with regard to their other production factors. Vilmorin & Cie relies on research & development for its ongoing growth, and on the controlled internationalization of its business activities, in order to durably strengthen its competitive positions in the long term on structurally buoyant world markets. True to its long-term vision of development, Vilmorin & Cie's strategy and performance are based on respect for the values shared with its shareholder, the agricultural cooperative Limagrain: boldness, progress, perseverance and cooperation.
