APPLETON — Papermaker Appleton has tapped a paper industry veteran from outside to head the firm's thermal paper business unit. At the same time it handed a vice president who joined the firm in 2005 the role of heading the carbonless unit. The company named Jim Tyrone, who has 28 years of management experience, most recently with NewPage Corp., to be responsible for the thermal paper unit and have oversight of the firm's paper manufacturing operations.
Tyrone most recently served as senior vice president of sales and marketing for NewPage Corp., the Miamisburg, Ohio-based firm that shuttered a paper mill in Kimberly 18 months ago but still owns it and still runs mills in four central Wisconsin cities. He had served in the same capacity with MeadWestvaco Corp. before its spinoff of NewPage, Appleton said.
Tyrone began his career in the paper industry with the former Mead Corp.
Sarah Macdonald, currently vice president of global sales and general manager of international business, was named vice president of the carbonless business unit with responsibility for the firm's carbonless and security business.
Appleton announced last week it would outsource parts of its information technology and finance functions, phasing out 28 local jobs the next six months.
The company employs about 1,200 people in the Fox Cities
