Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA 29 October 2015 -- (From The Business Journal) -- A corrugated paper products company that keeps a low profile is planning a major new facility in the Milwaukee region.

Corrugated Supplies Co., which is based in Bedford, Ill., plans to build a $200 million linerboard mill in 2017, said CEO John Potocsnak, in a brief interview. Potocsnak said he's not ready to share the full details, but he is excited to bring new jobs to Wisconsin, which has a large population of skilled labor with experience in paper mills.

"It's strategic," he said. "Obviously the labor force is a plus."

Initially the plant, which would be built on a 20-acre site somewhere about 90 miles from the company's current Bedford headquarters, would employ about 100 people, he said.

Potocsnak said he is not seeking any tax credits to support his project.
