Appleton Coated ReStarts Third Paper Machine
Appleton Coated, a mill that shut abruptly last fall when it went into receivership, has been inching back to life, with its third machine restarted Monday (March 26) and 230 of its 600 employees recalled to work.
Its improbable rebirth is coming under an equally improbable owner, used machine dealer Industrial Assets Corp.
Other mills that shut in the past, like NewPage in Kimberly, are no more than a pile of rocks today.
Appleton Coated, instead, is getting back on its feet.
