The first phase of a new corporate website for this company has been announced. The new site will have a new look, more functionality and improved navigational capabilities. The home page will regularly rotate content, providing a prominent space for new products, technologies or news announcements to be featured. Additional features include a more expansive use of video and a new locations database where visitors can more easily identify Sonoco facilities around the globe.

Phase I of the redesign process, which focused on the company’s North American operations, began in January 2010. Phase II, which will focus on international operations, is expected to be complete by mid-2011.
