Sonoco Products's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers
The Company sells its products in highly competitive markets, which include paper,
textile, film, food, chemical, packaging, construction, and wire and cable. All
of these markets are influenced by the overall rate of economic activity and their
behavior is principally driven by supply and demand. Because we operate in highly
competitive markets, we regularly bid for new and continuing business. Losses
and/or awards of business from our largest customers, customer changes to alternative
forms of packaging, and the repricing of business, can have a significant effect
on our operating results. The Company manufactures and sells many of its products
globally. The Company, having operated internationally since 1923, considers its
ability to serve its customers worldwide in a timely and consistent manner a competitive
advantage. The Company also believes that its technological leadership, reputation
for quality, and vertical integration are competitive advantages. Expansion of
the Company’s product lines and global presence is driven by the rapidly
changing needs of its major customers, who demand high-quality, state-of-the-art,
environmentally compatible packaging, wherever they choose to do business. It
is important to be a low-cost producer in order to compete effectively. The Company
is constantly focused on productivity improvements and other cost-reduction initiatives
utilizing the latest in technology.
