Through its recently launched Project CORE capacity optimization and resource efficiency program, Magnera plans to save upwards of $20 million as it enters fiscal 2026. Magnera executives announced the initiative, which is intended to improve earnings growth, strengthen competitiveness and enhance operational efficiency by rationalizing and consolidating the company’s global capacity.
 
“The program represents a significant step forward in optimizing our global capacity and cost reduction and positioning us to deliver improved financial performance over the medium to long term,” says CFO Jim Till.
 
Meanwhile, according to a news report, Kimberly-Clark will shift four Wisconsin-based production lines to Malaysia and Vietnam, following a 25% production reduction at its Cold Spring facility in Fox Crossing.
