| Neenah Paper Provides Tours, Lunch and More During Open House Event in Lowville 08/03/18 06:30pm |
to the community today, offering tours, lunch and children's activities during an open house event. Neenah, based out of Alpharetta, Georgia, is a leading manufacturer and marketer of fine paper and technical products, sold in over 70 countries. The company has multiple manufacturing and converting facilities in the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The Lowville location is a finishing and converting facility. Neenah acquired the facility, along with five others in the United States, from FiberMark in July of 2015. Manager of the Lowville mill, Tracey Yarina, said the facility employs around 125 people. Community members, local government officials, family members of employees and others were invited to the facility today for an open house. Lunch was then provided, with grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, salt potatoes, baked beans, chips and cookies. An ice cream truck was on hand, with children under 12 receiving a free ice cream. The company provided a ream of their Astrobrights printer paper to those taking the tour. "We wanted to have a little thank you to our employees and let them show their family what they do here," Ms. Yarina said. It started to grow from there, she continued, and they decided to expand the event to include anyone from the public interested in learning more about the mill. We were asked not to film inside the facility during the tour, but were encouraged to capture some footage before the tour started of the company and mill history on display. You can see that video below, along with a short video of our interview with Ms. Yarina. |
