What is your message to employees about safety?

We are focused on creating and maintaining a safe workplace and holding everyone accountable for safety. Our goal is zero injuries at every location. This is an area where we will not compromise.

We know it is possible because we have seen it within our own network across several facilities . All our employees are highly engaged and committed to our business’ success, but the Menominee mill stands out as an example to follow. Earlier this year, the site surpassed 2.25 million hours without a recordable safety incident. That’s more than 11 years! It goes to show what is possible when everyone is fully engaged in an active and caring environment.

And it takes a unique approach to employee training and safety. “Other mills might have the technology we do, or they might even have advancements we don’t have, but they can’t beat us on people,” says Allan Bohn, general manager of the Marlboro Mill since 2022. “It’s what really sets us apart.” Bohn speaks from experience.
