Packaging Corporation of America (PCA), the third largest producer of containerboard in North America, has announced the closure of two facilities located at 7451 and 7620 Cetronia Road in Upper Macungie Township, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. The 7451 location operates as the Trexlertown Full-Line Plant, while the nearby 7620 facility is situated in a Prologis-owned warehouse. This action, slated to take effect December 1, will impact 60 workers, according to a WARN Act notice from the Pennsylvania Department of Labor. PCA continues to operate a facility in Muhlenberg Township, Berks County, which opened in 2019, and had previously shuttered a plant in Allentown in 2017. Headquartered in Illinois, PCA manages 8 mills and 86 corrugated products facilities and remains a dominant force in the North American containerboard sector.
