Session Roadmap: The speakers will guide attendees through five key areas: * The current operational challenges at the Kimberly-Clark Millicent Mill. * The recent shifts and changes in the workforce coming with the retirement of a generation of experienced operational staff. * The strategic approach deployed to elevate overall asset performance. * Proven methods for actively engaging operators and maintainers in frontline change. * The tangible results currently being achieved on the factory floor. Three key takeaways for attendees.

Kimberly-Clark faces heightened operational risk following a late March 2026 fire at its Ontario, California plant, reportedly caused by an employee arrested for arson. The incident has disrupted operations and exposed vulnerabilities in the company's concentrated manufacturing footprint. The fire comes as analysts already flagged input cost pressures. TD Cowen recently cut its price target to $96, citing higher oil-related costs, whilst the incident adds focus on supply chain resilience and cost management. Kimberly-Clark's investment case centres on its essential tissue and personal care brands. However, the company's narrative projects $18.4 billion revenue and $6.1 billion earnings by 2029, requiring 3.9 per cent yearly growth. Most bearish analysts expect revenue to shrink 2.9 per cent annually, reaching approximately $2.8 billion in earnings, highlighting significant uncertainty around the company's outlook.
Western Reserve Building Trades Council expects solid year. by Staff Monday, April 6, 2026 The Western Reserve Building & Construction Trades Council expects 2026 to be another solid year for journeymen and apprentices, as large- and medium-scale projects throughout the region take shape. "The big project, obviously, is Kimberly-Clark," says Marty Loney, president of the Western Reserve Building Trades and business agent for Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 396 in Boardman. Paper products manufacturer Kimberly-Clark is in the process of constructing an $800 million production plant in Warren, a project that is expected to employ hundreds of tradesmen over the next two years. The Western Reserve Building Trades represents 23 locals and 16 crafts that boast just under 10,000 members. "I think this year looks a little above average," in terms of building projects and tradesmen hours, he says. "Engineers and contracto rs are starting to put things together for the spring." He reports that overall activity in the trades proved "average" last year but anticipates more opportunities in 2026 as smaller commercial projects get started. "Hopefully, some of the manufacturers will start to do a few more things," he says. Other future projects could materialize within the health care sector, while tradesmen plan to keep busy with projects such as the renovation of Youngstown State University's Kilcawley Center. Perhaps most encouraging for the crafts was the All Trades Expo held in September at the Canfield Fairgrounds, Loney says. Last year's event attracted more than 6,000 middle school and high school students over three days. "It's been pretty steady," he says. The organization has also initiated other outreach programs designed to encourage students to take more interest in the trades, he says. On March 19, for example, the Building Trades plans to host its first informational breakfast of the year for guidance counselors from area schools. The concept helps to inform counselors of opportunities in the trades and offers continuing education credits for those who attend. "I'm not seeing any pitfalls for this year, but also nothing really big either," Loney says. "I think it will be a little bit better than average for most of the crafts."
Another Huggies class action claims 'hypoallergenic diapers' cause skin irritation. By top class actions | March 27, 2026. Huggies class action lawsuit overview: * Who: Plaintiff Jasmine Rojas filed a class action lawsuit against Kimberly-Clark Corp. * Why: Rojas claims the company falsely advertises its Huggies Little Movers diapers as hypoallergenic and made for sensitive skin. * Where: The Huggies class action lawsuit was filed in New York federal court. A new class action lawsuit alleges.Kimberly-Clark Corp falsely advertises its Huggies Little Movers as "hypoallergenic diapers" and made for sensitive skin when they actually contain ingredients that can cause skin irritation. Plaintiff Jasmine Rojas filed the Huggies class action complaint against Kimberly-Clark Corp. on March 6 in New York federal court, alleging violations of state and federal consumer laws. According to the lawsuit, the market for hypoallergenic diapers and hygiene products is rapidly growing, driven by consumers' increasing awareness of skin sensitivities and conditions like eczema. Rojas claims Kimberly-Clark has sought to capitalize on this demand by marketing its Huggies Little Movers hypoallergenic diapers as hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin. However, the diapers contain ingredients that can cause skin irritation and Rojas points to online reviews from parents who claim the hypoallergenic diapers caused rashes and other allergic reactions in their children. Lawsuit: Huggies diapers contain chemicals that can cause skin irritation. The Huggies class action lawsuit claims the diapers are designed with a new formulation that includes an interior blue lining, which has been linked to a chemical smell and skin irritation. Rojas further alleges that the ingredients in the hypoallergenic version of the diapers are similar to those in the non-hypoallergenic version, making it unclear what differentiates the two products. Rojas claims Kimberly-Clark's misleading marketing has led parents to purchase the hypoallergenic diapers under the false impression that they are safe for children with sensitive skin. "No reasonable consumer would purchase diapers for their children advertised as being hypoallergenic - when they could simply purchase non-hypoallergenic alternatives - had they known that the 'hypoallergenic' Product exposed (or risked exposing) their children to chemicals that irritate skin," the Huggies class action says. Rojas wants to represent anyone who purchased Huggies Little Movers hypoallergenic diapers in New York. She is suing for violations of New York consumer laws and seeks certification of the Huggies class action, damages, fees, costs and a jury trial. Another lawsuit making the same allegations against Huggies was filed on Nov. 25 in New York district court. What do you think of the claims made in this Huggies class action lawsuit? Let us know in the comments. The plaintiff is represented by Max S. Roberts, Victoria X. Zhou and Caroline C. Donovan of Bursor & Fisher P.A. The Huggies class action lawsuit is Rojas v. Kimberly-Clark Corp., Case No. 1:26-cv-1331, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Don't miss out!

Tax incentives to continue for 22 companies in Trumbull County. by Dan O'Brien Saturday, March 21, 2026 WARREN, Ohio - The Trumbull County Tax Incentive Review Council on Friday approved continuing tax incentive agreements for 22 companies, concluding they have met their obligations related to job creation, job retention and new investment. In total, these companies have invested more than $1.5 billion in personal property and another $426.8 million in real property improvements over the course of their respective incentive programs, according to data provided by the Trumbull County Planning Commission. The TIRC reviews these agreements each year to monitor whether companies have honored their pledges to create a specific amount of jobs and make substantial investments in exchange for tax breaks on new construction value. The TIRC is composed of county officials and representatives of area school districts, townships and municipalities. On Friday, the TIRC recommended continuing 17 enterprise zone agreements with 16 companies. Kimberly-Clark, which is constructing an estimated $800 million manufacturing plant along Pine Avenue in Howland and Warren townships, was awarded two separate agreements - one for the manufacturing facility and another one for a proposed distribution center. While the plant is now under construction, the company has yet to approve the distribution project. The council also recommended keeping in place six Community Reinvestment Area agreements. Just two agreements prompted short discussions. Venture Plastics Inc., Braceville, reported that it had failed to meet its projected job targets for 2025. However, Nic Coggins, director of economic development at the Trumbull County Planning Commission, which oversees the county's incentive programs, said the company faced an unexpected business downturn toward the end of 2025, forcing layoffs. "They expanded in 2018 and had 110 employees at the time and pledged to create eight new employees," he said. The company was awarded a 60% tax abatement over 10 years in 2017. However, the latest numbers show that there were no new jobs created by the close of 2025, reflecting the recent layoffs. Coggins emphasized that Venture Plastics has met its job creation goals every year over the past eight years, and this is the first time the company has fallen short of its target. "They actually had exceeded their job creation, but by the end of the year that was not the case," he noted. The TIRC recommended continuing incentives for the company. A second agreement, a CRA that awarded a 75% tax abatement over 10 years to Steel & Liberty LLC in 2025, raised some questions because the project owner has not yet provided any investment or hiring data to the planning commission. Steel & Liberty pledged to invest $2.1 million in personal property and another $5.9 million in new construction to build a 55,000-square-foot hotel at 1610 Motor Inn Dr. in Liberty Township. The hotel projected the creation of 66 jobs. Coggins said there was some confusion on the hotel owner's part as to when he needed to produce hiring and investment numbers to the TIRC. "He thought he had until March 31 instead of March 1," he said. The hotel owner said he would provide the information Friday, but Coggins had not received it by the 1 p.m. meeting. Coggins said the hotel is finished and has employees, but there is no data to reflect the degree of investment and job creation. The TIRC also approved continuing Steel & Liberty's CRA contract. "The hotel is up, and it's operating," Coggins said. "There is some kind of job creation, but I do not have any backup documentation at this time."
