CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — Pixelle Specialty Solutions announces that, based on a framework agreed upon today among the Company, H.I.G. Capital, and government officials, Pixelle will delay the closure of the Chillicothe, Ohio, paper mill until the end of the year. This decision follows productive discussions with leaders at the federal, state, and local levels and reflects a shared commitment to exploring sustainable, long-term solutions for the facility and its workforce. “Pausing the closure provides us additional time to evaluate what’s possible,” said Ross Bushnell, President and CEO of Pixelle. …Among the key leaders engaged in this process is Senator Bernie Moreno, who today announced plans to establish a permanent Senate office in Chillicothe to support the mill’s future and monitor progress. Pixelle will continue coordinating with its ownership group to define next steps and work towards a mutually agreeable solution.
