Frequently asked questions
Who sponsors the Sonoco Products Company Master Trust?
Sonoco Products Company, a publicly traded global packaging manufacturer headquartered in Hartsville, South Carolina, sponsors the Master Trust. The plan covers approximately 22,000 employees across Sonoco's consumer and industrial packaging operations.
What investment vehicles are known to sit inside the Sonoco Master Trust?
Publicly identified holdings include a Sonoco Stock Fund, which invests in the sponsor's own equity, and a Stable Value Fund. Both are administered from the company's Hartsville headquarters. Sonoco does not disclose the trust's full asset allocation or investment lineup.
How does the 2024 Eviosys acquisition affect the Master Trust?
Sonoco's December 2024 acquisition of Eviosys created a new EMEA division and expanded the company's workforce and operational footprint. A larger, more geographically diverse employee base could alter the trust's participant demographics, contribution flows, and ultimately the plan's liability profile over time.
Does the Sonoco Master Trust disclose its funded status?
No. Sonoco does not publish the trust's assets, liabilities, or funded ratio, and the plan's financials are not broken out separately in the company's public filings in a form that allows independent calculation.
How is the trust related to Sonoco's philanthropic foundations?
The Master Trust is a retirement vehicle for Sonoco employees, while the Sonoco Foundation and Sonoco Gives Fund are corporate philanthropic entities. The foundation and the Gives Fund are not funded by or linked to the pension assets.
