Repackaging a Packager
Article by Peter Galuszka

Relocation of its corporate headquarters to the Greater Richmond region is a keystone of MeadWestvaco’s strategy to drive down costs and build a global, technology-driven packaging giant.

MeadWestvaco has deep roots in Virginia. In Chesterfield County some 200 of its employees have performed back-office functions such as accounting and human resources, and for years, a plant in south-side Richmond supplied cigarette cartons to Philip Morris USA.
MeadWestvaco Chooses Downtown Richmond
MeadWestvaco Corp. has chosen downtown Richmond for its permanent headquarters.

The Fortune 500 company plans to move from a Henrico County site into a multistory, riverfront office to be built on Byrd Street between Fifth and Seventh streets, company executives said yesterday.

The 4-acre site, now a parking lot for the Federal Reserve Bank, is owned by Richmond-based NewMarket Corp. The company, formerly Ethyl Corp., has been planning to develop the land as part of a project named Foundry Park.
