Spokane, Washington-based Clearwater Paper Corporation, a pulp and paper product manufacturer, has announced that it is leaving the home tissue business by the end of July 2021, and abruptly closed its Neenah paper mill that produced private-brand tissue products for commercial and retail customers. The plant is located in Fox Crossing, Wisconsin. The closure will impact 290 employees.
According to a company statement from President and Chief Executive Officer Arsen Kitch, “Despite the best efforts of our dedicated employees, our Neenah location and assets cannot cost effectively compete in the markets that we serve. This was a difficult decision, because it affects our people, their families and the Neenah community.”
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
