Sonoco Donates $2.5-million to Clemson for Planned Institute

Packaging is a yearly $100-billion-plus business, based on gross sales figures, making it the third largest industry in the United States. More people work in packaging and packaging operations than any other business area in the nation.

“Sonoco has been a long-standing friend of Clemson,” said university President Jim Barker. “This gift creates an extraordinary investment in education, research and service to a high-tech industry.”
