PaperWorks Growing Wabash Operation

Pennsylvania-based PaperWorks Industries Inc. is growing its Indiana footprint. The company is investing $3 million to build a warehouse addition to its Wabash paperboard mill.

The 44,500-square-foot addition is expected to be operational during the first quarter of 2018. The company, which provides recycled paperboard and specialized folding cartons for packaging purposes, says the addition will have the capability of storing up to 7,000 tons of coated recycled board rolls.

"Over the past three years, PaperWorks has invested more than 60 million dollars to upgrade its paperboard mills and folding carton converting plants," said Andy Bolton, chief executive officer of PaperWorks.

Last April, PaperWorks invested $3.5 million to reduce energy consumption at the Wabash mill.

If the headline sounds ominous, that’s by design. This is not hyperbole. The United States is funding numerous Chinese companies—many with ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Chinese military. This is the very country which, by all accounts, is posing the most serious threat to our national security in our lifetime....
