In 1899, a small team of 12 worked in a rented warehouse in Hartsville, South Carolina on the Southern Novelty Company’s first product: a cone-shaped paper yarn carrier used for winding and transporting yarn. Since textile cones at that time were typically wooden, these paper cones were a novelty. This innovative product positioned us as the leading producer of cones in the U.S. Since then, we continued to expand our product line and plant locations around the country. In 1923, the Southern Novelty Company name changed to Sonoco Products Company. Using the first two letters of this new company name, we claimed the name Sonoco. In the years to follow, we expanded internationally into North America, South America, Europe and beyond. Today, our team includes approximately 22,000 employees working in 300+ operations around the world. As packaging manufacturers, we serve some of the world’s best-known brands in consumer, industrial and other markets. Guided by a culture of respect, teamwork, service, integrity and accountability, we’re leading the way to responsible packaging.
