Sonoco Products Company
Sonoco Products Company is a Public Limited Company registered in United States, and its current status with South Carolina Secretary of State is active. Its registered address on file is Hartsville, United States. 2 shareholders are on record for Sonoco Products Company, and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from South Carolina Secretary of State and was last updated on 29 September 2026.

Shareholders of Sonoco Products Company
Two shareholders are currently on record for Sonoco Products Company, reflecting the stock ledger maintained under state corporate law (e.g. §219 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) rather than a public filing. The largest of these is Vanguard Group Inc, holding 17% — the largest recorded stake — followed by iShares Trust-iShares Select Dividend ETF at 3.6%. Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.

Those 68 subsidiaries span United States, France, Canada, Curaçao, Belgium, Chile, and 6 more jurisdictions, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear. 13 of the 68 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
