In 2024, our New Oxford plant faced an unexpected challenge. A critical “leg” of the main power went down, and suddenly our entire operation was at risk. But thanks to our commercial backup generator, the plant didn’t miss a beat. For nearly 24 hours, that generator powered our facility—keeping machines humming, orders shipping, and our customer promise fully intact.
That moment reminded us of something simple yet powerful: in manufacturing, reliability isn’t optional. It’s the foundation of trust.
A Stronger Safety Net for Our Customers
Now, we’ve expanded that safety net. Yazoo Mills has installed a new 510kw Rehlko industrial generator at our 150,000 sq. ft. Hanover, PA, facility. Standing 12 feet tall and equipped with an automatic switch, this generator kicks on instantly in the event of an outage. That means two shifts of nonstop production at our Hanover plant, no delays, no disruptions—and no worries for our customers.
Why It Matters
Power outages don’t just turn off the lights. They can:
- Compromise safety on the production floor
- Cause mechanical failures and material waste
- Lead to costly downtime and late deliveries
By reinvesting in backup power, we’ve eliminated those risks and reinforced what we’re known for—unmatched speed, consistent quality, and reliable service.
Always On. Always Ready. Always Yazoo.
Our commitment to reinvestment isn’t just about machines or facilities—it’s about people. It’s about safeguarding our employees’ work environment and giving our customers confidence. With Yazoo, no matter the challenges outside, we’re always ready inside by delivering the industry’s fastest turnaround and the most reliable, high-quality paper tubes and cores you can depend on.
Because when the grid goes dark, our promise to deliver doesn’t.
