Mobile Paper Mill, Alabama

Kimberly-Clark operates this paper plant on the industrialized waterway north of Mobile, Alabama. It is one of a few older integrated paper mills Kimberly-Clark acquired when it bought Scott Paper in 1995. The plant employs around 500 people. Kimberly-Clark is a paper company that makes around a quarter of the toilet paper in the USA. Started in Neenah, Wisconsin, in 1872, it still employs more than 2,000 people in that area, at a few smaller production sites, and at its former corporate campuses. In the 1970s the company started divesting itself of its pulp and sheet paper mills to focus on manufacturing disposable paper hygiene products, and is now based in Irving, Texas. It has more than $20 billion in annual revenue, and employs around 40,000 people at dozens of manufacturing locations, including several plants making toilet paper for its Scott and Cottonelle brands, as well as commercial toilet paper for “away-from-home” suppliers.
