Millicent Mill awaits news

The 400-strong workforce of the Kimberly-Clark Australia Millicent Mill is awaiting news from the USA tonight (Tuesday).


The Kimberly-Clark Corporation will release its annual results to the New York Stock Exchange.


As per company policy, the financial results of KCA and other individual countries will not be stated.


Major Kimberly-Clark Corporation operational decisions are often announced at this time by KCC chief executive and chairman Mike Hsu.


Last week, the Millicent Mill was inspected by Supply Chain manager Ganesh Krishnamurthy who is based at the Kimberly-Clark Corporation Asia Pacific headquarters in Singapore.


Australian companies erected the plant now known as the KCA Millicent Mill in 1958 with production commencing two years later.


The Kimberly-Clark Corporation took a 50% stake in 1963 and then assumed full ownership in 2001.


At its height in the 1980s, the Millicent Mill had a workforce of 1000.


Nowadays, there are around 350 company employees and 50 contractors.


KCA has closed its five other manufacturing plants across Australia over the past 25 years.


The Millicent Mill has solely processed imported pulp since 2011.
