NORCROSS -- Nearly 40 years ago, this city was home to a family-owned business of paperboard and box manufacturing with sales of $23 million.Today, RockTenn Co. reports $10 billion in net sales, and is one of the crown jewels of the business community in Norcross and Gwinnett County.
#This month, RockTenn announced the acquisition of Smurfit-Stone, one of its competitors, and subsequently made a $5 million local investment that would create 500 jobs in the next two years.
#In an economic climate where business expansion is rare and job creation is not often delivered, RockTenn is proud to be an aberration to recent trends.
"It's fun, because it makes you proud," said John Stakel, a RockTenn vice president and the company's treasurer. "It's energizing, rewarding from a professional standpoint."
