Cascades announced that it plans to restart two of the American Tissue Corp. mills in upstate New York next month. Cascades acquired the idled facility recently. The two facilities had been idled since last year. The facilities were located in Waterford, N.Y., and Mechanicville, N.Y.
Suzanne Blanchet, president and chief executive of the company's tissue group, said she expected as many as half of the new workers to be the same people who had operated the Waterford and Mechanicville plants until they were shuttered last year.
The Mechanicville plant can produce about 150 tons a day of paper towels on large industrial rolls.
The Waterford facility has 15 converting lines that can take up to 300 tons a day of paper and re-roll, recut and repackage it into individual rolls of toilet paper, napkins and towels, said Bob Picard, the Waterford mill manager. (New York) Times Union
