Integrated mill-to-market packaging manufacturer with corrugated and paper production
Hood Container operates a vertically integrated packaging business spanning paper mills, corrugated manufacturing, and consumer solutions across 1,000+ employees. The tech stack reveals a traditional manufacturing operations footprint (JD Edwards ERP, Allen-Bradley PLCs, Siemens controls, CMMS maintenance software) paired with modern BI tooling (Power BI) and development languages (Python, Java, C#) — suggesting selective digitization of scheduling, quality, and predictive maintenance. Hiring is heavily skewed toward manufacturing floor and operations roles, with active projects centered on preventive maintenance, production scheduling, and inventory control, indicating operational efficiency is the near-term priority.
