Spartech sells Canadian-based corrugated sheet business

Clayton, Miss.-based Spartech Corp. has sold off its corrugated sheet business, based in Cornwall, Ont. to Coroplast, a division of Great Pacific Enterprises, Inc.
The divested business has annual revenues of approximately $9 million that will be integrated into Coroplast’s three manufacturing facilities, which are located in Granby, Que., Dallas, Tex., and Vanceburg, Ken.
Coroplast is a maker of corrugated plastic sheets and containers.

"This sale achieves our goal of finding a strategic buyer for the corrugated business that is committed to growing the business and better serving this specific niche of customers.
