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.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Data Infrastructure.

◆ ◆ 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.
