Jul 31, 2008. /Lesprom.com/. Appleton will conduct a dedication ceremony to mark the completion of a $125-million expansion of the company's thermal paper production capacity at its mill in West Carrollton, Ohio. The dedication will be held Wednesday, August 6 at 4:30 p.m. ET. The expansion program will add 35 new jobs to the mill's 400-person workforce. The capital investments include the installation of a state-of-the-art coater to produce thermal paper and construction of related facilities as well as enhancements to the mill's No. 92 paper machine. Appleton is the largest North American producer of thermal paper and with the completed expansion, the West Carrollton mill is the only U.S. manufacturing facility that both produces thermal base stock and coats it to make thermal paper.
