STEVENS POINT, WI / AGILITYPR.NEWS / July 29, 2021 / The Whiting Facility of Neenah, Inc. in Stevens Point is the flagship mill creating fine paper and packaging products used by millions of people for the last 100 years. Despite the setbacks of 2020, which saw less demand for Neenah Paper’s products, the Energy Team moved forward with energy efficiency projects.

For those efforts, the company will receive an Energy Efficiency Excellence Award from Focus on Energy® on Thursday, July 29th, 2021.
