Great Lakes Pulp & Fibre Recognized for Safety Program

Great Lakes Pulp & Fibre received recognition from the Michigan Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program for safety and health excellence established by the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Great Lakes Pulp & Fibre, Menominee, Mich., is one of six facilities in the state to receive the award.

MSHARP is a cooperative program between business and government that recognizes Michigan employers and employees that are committed to creating a workplace culture that makes safety their top priority. The program is designed to recognize employers that have achieved safety and health excellence far beyond their peers.

"Great Lakes is a world class mill that produces high-quality recycled pulp. We place the safety and well-being of our employees above all else," said Robert Garland, President and CEO. "This award is a reflection of our commitment to a safe work environment and we are all very proud of this accomplishment."

Great Lakes Pulp & Fibre, which has been in operation for ten years, was originally designed with a production capacity of 144,000 air dried metric tons per year capacity. The mill is now capable of producing 165,000 ADMT per year.
