As part of its ongoing transformation initiative (Project CORE), Magnera will begin winding down operations at its Pilar, Argentina site. The company will continue to fulfill pre-existing commitments out of the site and ensure continuity for customers during this transition.

The closure is part of Project CORE (Capacity Optimization and Resource Efficiency), a company-wide program introduced in Magnera’s most recent earnings release. Project CORE is designed to streamline Magnera’s global footprint, enhance operational agility, and deliver greater value to customers and partners.

“This was not a decision taken lightly,” says Curt Begle, Magnera CEO. “It reflects our commitment to building a more efficient, responsive and sustainable organization—one that is better positioned to meet the evolving needs of our customers and the market.”

More than 60 employees will be impacted by the closure of the Pilar facility. Magnera is working closely with local teams to provide support. “We are deeply grateful for the dedication and contributions of our Pilar team,” added Begle. “Supporting them through this change is a top priority.”

Throughout the process, Magnera remains fully committed to maintaining exceptional service and honoring its customer commitments. The company is actively leveraging its global portfolio to ensure seamless continuity and consistent delivery across all markets. In parallel, Magnera is investing in advanced systems and technologies to enhance responsiveness, accelerate innovation, and strengthen its long-term operational capabilities.

“This is a moment of evolution, but also of opportunity,” says Begle. “Through Project CORE, we are building a stronger, more agile organization—ready to lead with purpose and deliver new possibilities for our customers and communities.”
