GEORGIA (From news reports) -- Packaging Corporation of America is closing a facility in Georgia, affecting 103 employees, according to a filing with the state. PCA determined it could serve customers more effectively and efficiently by moving the capacity from this full-line plant in East Point, near Atlanta, to other locations within the company's network, according to a statement emailed by a spokesperson. Employees' last days at the facility will be in March, according to the worker adjustment and retraining notification filing. Normal operations will continue at the corrugated products plant during the 60-day WARN notification period, the spokesperson said. "During this time, our focus will be on customers and our employees," said PCA's statement. "We understand that this is an especially challenging time for our employees and their families. The company's decision is not a reflection of their performance," the statement says. PCA will assist workers with finding new employment, either within the company or at other employers in the East Point area.
