Kimberly-Clark to Cut Production Lines at Wisconsin Plant

Kimberly-Clark will be cutting back production at its Cold Springs facility in Wisconsin in January from 16 lines to 12, according to a story in the Appleton Post-Crescent. Still, the cutbacks will not cause job losses due to worker shortages in the area.

The production of those lines (producing Kotex and Poise products) will be shifted to Malaysia and Vietnam, according to Sally Feistel of the United Steel Workers regional office in Menasha. She said the plant is behind in filling vacancies.
