Pixelle Specialty Solutions (“Pixelle”) announced the planned closure of its Chillicothe, Ohio, mill as part of an effort to align its operational footprint with longterm business objectives.
The Chillicothe mill closure will allow Pixelle to strengthen its remaining operations in Spring Grove and Fremont and maintain its competitive position in the specialty paper market. The company is taking steps to provide a smooth transition for employees, including job placement assistance and access to workforce resources. Pixelle will engage with represented employees’ union leadership on the impact this will have on them under their collective bargaining agreement.
Pixelle will also work closely with its customers and suppliers to navigate this transition as efficiently as possible. Where possible, as with the carbonless sheet and Defensa paper franchises, production will be strategically relocated to Pixelle’s Spring Grove facility.
Headquartered in Spring Grove, Pennsylvania, Pixelle Specialty Solutions LLC is a leading manufacturer of specialty papers, with operations in North America.
