Mohawk Fine Papers has announced that it seeks to close the Beckett Mill in Hamilton, Ohio at the end of the year. A shutdown would include the mill’s three paper machines and would affect 137 union and salaried employees.
Over the next two months, Mohawk intends to transition manufacturing from Beckett to its paper mills in Cohoes and Waterford, New York, which could result in 40 new production jobs in New York.
Mohawk will continue to operate its envelope, converting and warehouse/distribution facilities in Saybrook, Ohio, along with warehouses in California, Washington, New York, and the Netherlands.
