Save our JOBS! Save our MILL!

On Wednesday 20th November, workers at the Kinleith Mill in Tokoroa were told that Oji Fibre Solutions is proposing to shut down paper production in June 2025.

This means 230 people will lose their jobs. The mill is the backbone of our town. If this goes ahead, the whole region will be impacted.

But if we come together, we can send a strong message to people with influence - such as Oji Fibre Solutions, the Mayor, Councillors, Politicians and ultimately, the Government.

We want to stop our jobs going overseas. We want long-term economic growth for our region. We want to Save Our Jobs and Save Our Mill!!
