A Note from Marty Ochs
Unfortunately, over the past 20 plus years China has simply dominated the pulp and paper industry! Wisconsin and the USA must be clear-eyed about the stranglehold China & Asia have over the manufacturing, supply chain, transportation and resources supporting pulp and paper. China has purchased some critical assets in the United States and the trend will continue.

Now is time to bring back paper & pulp production to Wisconsin and the United States for our national security and to support our businesses and communities.

Truly,
Marty Ochs
