DANVILLE - Shorewood Packaging Corp. has cut 33 jobs due to low customer demand.
The positions were eliminated after about three months of rolling temporary layoffs, said Mike Fenton, the plant's general manager.
"Our customer demand just hasn't been there," Fenton said.
Fenton said Shorewood officials do not expect business to improve anytime soon. Shorewood produces packaging boxes and paper products.
"Our customers are at the mercy of the consumer-shopper," he said.
The plant had four printing presses running three shifts per day five days a week. Shorewood eliminated one printing press as part of the cuts, Fenton said.
Shorewood is offering severance and job-search assistance to its laid-off employees, he said. The cuts leave Shorewood with 138 employees.
