Is kalamazoo the US's leader in manufacturing paper or just Michigans?
Just Michigan's leader. Michigan's immediate neighbor to the west of Lake Michigan holds the distinct honor of being the paper manufacturing capitol.
Wisconsin has led the nation in papermaking for more than 50 years. More than 5.3 million tons of paper and over 1.1 million tons of paperboard are produced annually.
Pulp, paper and allied firms employ more than 40,000 men and women, representing one in every 12 Wisconsin manufacturing jobs.
