Clearwater Paper Corporationannounced the indefinite closure of its Neenah, Wisconsin facility, which includes three tissue machines and ten converting lines, removing a total paper production capacity of approximately 54,000 tons. Clearwater Paper intends to indefinitely close Neenah and exit the away from home business by the end of July 2021.
The facility’s approximately 290 employees will be impacted by the closure. The company will work closely with the union and state employment agencies to assist impacted employees in receiving training, and other benefits that enable them to find new employment as quickly as possible. The company will also offer career assistance services to help employees through this difficult time.
Clearwater Paper acquired the Neenah mill in 2010 and produced private brand tissue products for commercial and retail customers at the mill.
Clearwater Paper is a premier supplier of private brand tissue. In addition, the company produces bleached paperboard used by quality-conscious printers and packaging converters.
