    SHEBOYGAN - Rockline Industries has announced plans to increase capacity at three of its wet wipe manufacturing facilities across the US.

    The US$18 million investment will see high-capacity wet wipe production lines at its sites in Springdale, Russellville and in Booneville, all located in the state of Arkansas.

    Announcing the plans, Ron Kerscher, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Rockline said the increased capacity would lead to the creation of around 100 jobs. "Rockline has been proud to be a part of the Arkansas community for many years and we are excited to be bringing new jobs and new opportunities to our local communities,” Kerscher, said. "As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic millions of consumers have been introduced to the convenience of personal care wipes. This has led to a dramatic increase in consumer demand for these products.”

    Rockline, which is headquartered in Sheboygan, Wisconsin employs nearly 2,500 people worldwide.
