Packaging Of America's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers
we were the fourth largest producer of containerboard products in the United
States, according to industry sources and our own estimates. According to industry
sources, corrugated products are produced by about 500 U.S. companies operating
approximately 1,200 plants. The primary basis for competition for most of our
packaging products includes quality, service, price, product design, and innovation.
Most corrugated products are manufactured to the customer’s specifications.
Corrugated producers generally sell within a 150-mile radius of their plants and
compete with other corrugated producers in their local region. Competition in
our corrugated products operations tends to be regional, although we also face
competition from large competitors with significant national account presence.
On a national level, our primary competitors are International Paper Company,
WestRock Company, Georgia-Pacific LLC, KapStone Paper and Packaging Corporation,
and Pratt Industries. However, with our strategic focus on regional and local
accounts, we also compete with the smaller, independent producers.
The markets in which our Paper segment competes are large and highly competitive.
Commodity grades of white paper are globally traded, with numerous worldwide
manufacturers, and as a result, these products compete primarily on the basis
of price. All of our paper manufacturing facilities are located in the United
States, and although we compete primarily in the domestic market, we do face
competition from foreign producers and have experienced increased foreign competition
in recent years. The level of this competition varies depending on domestic
and foreign demand and foreign currency exchange rates. In general, paper production
does not rely on proprietary processes or formulas, except in highly specialized
or custom grades.
Our largest competitors include Domtar Corporation, International Paper Company,
and Georgia-Pacific LLC. We also face competition from overseas producers. Although
price is the primary basis for competition in most of our paper grades, quality
and service are also important competitive determinants. Our white papers compete
with electronic data transmission, e-readers, electronic document storage alternatives,
and paper grades we do not produce. Increasing shifts to these alternatives
