Sonoco reported Q2 earnings lifted by data center demand for cable reels and packaging; the company is expanding reel production with further automation in Q3, expecting 15% capacity growth.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Data centre builders are running up against cable reel supply limits, and Sonoco is racing to expand. If you make fibre, connectors, or cable assemblies for data centres, your delivery windows just got tighter—and Sonoco's 15% capacity bump won't close the gap.
