Tissue Mills has announced it will move its manufacturing facilities out of
state within six months. Steiner has a workforce of 65 people at their Kaukauna
location. Freight costs were given as the reason for the move. Mayor Joseph
Bayorgeon stated, “To move the plant from the City would be a tremendous blow
to Kaukauna”. He immediately dispatched a telegram and a letter to the board of
directors in Chicago, in an effort, to get them to change their decision.
