Members of USW Locals 2-15 and 2-1778, along with non-union employees, have pledged more than $31,000 to the Northwoods United Way to benefit programs in the community, the company announced in a press release.
"This donation will help the Northwoods United Way fund agencies in Oneida, Forest, and Vilas counties," according to Northwoods United Way executive director Nancy Sattler. "Ahlstrom-Munksjö Rhinelander Plant employees have been long-term partners of the United Way, and we are very grateful to accept their donation. There continues to be a need in our area for basic supplies, crisis intervention, family resources, referral services, and health & healing assistance. This gift will help support the agencies providing this programming."
Ahlstrom-Munksjö employs 494 people in its Rhinelander plant and has more than 8,000 employees worldwide.
"With an international network of sales offices and 45 plants and converting sites in 14 countries, Ahlstrom-Munksjö is a global leader in fiber-based materials, supplying innovative and sustainable solutions to its customers," the release states. "Their mission is to expand the role of fiber-based solutions for sustainable everyday life."
"I am proud of the generosity of our Ahlstrom-Munksjö Rhinelander team members and their contribution to the Northwoods United Way," said Joe Fierst, Rhinelander Plant Manager. "Together we can support these important programs and our neighbors in the Rhinelander community and beyond."
The Northwoods United Way, Inc is a locally directed organization, working to improve lives in Forest, Oneida and Vilas Counties by mobilizing community resources and strategically investing in human service programs.
"We are getting close to wrapping up our 2019 Pledge Campaign, and this donation from Ahlstrom-Munksjö will go a long way in getting us closer to achieving our goal," said Sattler. "We still need the communities support in order to meet our goal for 2019."
