Appleton Reduces Carbonless Capacity

Appleton will idle some carbonless production capacity at the Appleton, Wisconsin Plant. The company also plans to transfer some production of thermal paper grades from the Appleton Plant to the company’s mill in West Carrollton, Ohio. .

According to Appleton, its Appleton Plant has historically been the first of the company’s facilities to be affected by changing demand for carbonless paper. Unprecedented economic conditions worldwide have compounded the effects of the ongoing decline in the use of business forms made from carbonless paper. Despite Appleton’s recent success at increasing its share of the world’s carbonless paper market, a sharp decline in demand for the product has created excess production capacity and staffing levels at the Appleton Plant.
Paper.com has all the Appleton carbonless products ready for immediate shipment.
