Portola Packaging to cease cosmetics closure/container manufacturing
Production is expected to stop by the end of August
Illinois based Portola Packaging has announced that it is quitting the cosmetics packaging sector. The company is shutting down its Portola Tech International cosmetics closure and container manufacturing unit and production at its Cumberland, Rhode Island and Nanhai, China manufacturing locations is expected to cease by the end of August.
“We've decided to cease our luxury skin care closure and container manufacturing operations,” said president and chief executive officer Kevin Kwilinski. “This will enable Portola to focus all of the company's resources on its core business which is producing value-added closures and bottles for non-carbonated beverage applications.”
