Since its inception in 2012, Hood Container Corporation has grown as a family-owned national packaging company while keeping the local expertise of its many facilities. Its mill-to-market model connects paper production with custom packaging work for manufacturers and consumer brands, and has helped it become one of the top ten paper and packaging companies in the United States.
