Mercury Paper will invest $25 million to expand its paper converting operations in Strasburg, Virginia, with plans to create 96 additional jobs by early 2015.

Governor Terry McAuliffe said, “It’s exciting to see the life and employees and the potential in this (Mercury Paper) building. I am excited to see what happens with the company and its combination of employees and growth is truly exciting. The team at Mercury Paper is making a great product at a great price. I’m sure, with this investment, Oasis Brands’ FIORA will continue to be the fastest growing brand and a leader.”

“The Commonwealth of Virginia has a strong workforce to support our tissue converting and distribution operations,” said Nathan Hanson, Oasis Brands CEO and Mercury Paper Chairman. “Shenandoah County gives us access to a growing, skilled workforce and a well-developed transportation system to service major markets and key customers’ main distribution centers. With the pro-business environment and support that exists in Virginia, this community continues to aid in the success of Mercury Paper and Oasis Brands.”
