Wausau Paper layoffs revealed

July 21, 2011 By WRN Contributor

Some job layoffs at Wausau Paper are just coming to light. The company laid off 16 workers on July 8th because of a continued decline in its print and color paper sector. Eight of the jobs came from the Brokaw paper mill and the company’s corporate office in Mosinee; the rest from the company’s national sales organization based outside of Wausau.

Company officials say in an internal letter obtained this week that the layoffs were necessary despite closing a mill in New Hampshire and a converting center in Appleton and making millions in investments at the Brokaw mill and to a paper machine in Brainerd, Minnesota. Going forward, the company said it will flex its operating schedule and work Saturdays when demand allows.
