Sonoco has finalised the sale of its temperature logistics division ThermoSafe to the private equity firm Arsenal Capital Partners. The purchase price is USD 650 million at closing, plus a performance-based payment of up to USD 75 million for 2025. The net proceeds will be used to repay debt.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sonoco CEO Howard Coker sees the transaction<\/a> as a key step in the portfolio streamlining process: The company is thus focusing on two global core business segments in metal and fibre packaging for consumer and industrial customers. Pro forma, the expected net proceeds - excluding possible additional compensation - should reduce the net debt ratio.<\/p>\n

The total price consists of USD 650 million \u201ecash-free, debt-free\u201c at closing and up to USD 75 million in additional compensation if defined performance indicators are achieved. Sonoco plans to use the funds to repay existing liabilities.<\/p>
