CHILLICOTHE, Ohio (WCMH) -- The Chillicothe paper mill is set to be repurposed after Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) announced the mill's new owners on Friday afternoon.
A source told NBC4 on Thursday that U.S. Medical Glove, a medical device production company, is set to buy the mill that has been facing mass layoffs and even closure over the past six months.
It was confirmed in the news conference with Moreno and local officials that U.S. Medical Glove will repurpose the paper mill to manufacture medical gloves, face masks, and other medical equipment. U.S. Medical Glove was formed after the COVID-19 pandemic to produce personal protective equipment domestically.

U.S. Medical Glove is reportedly going to hire approximately 200 people initially, which may include some former Pixelle workers. More people are expected to be hired if the machinery and production go as planned.
