Company cutting jobs in Idaho, Nevada

Monday, Jan. 19, 2004 | 11:06 a.m.

Fifty-eight Potlatch Corp. consumer products workers in Northern Idaho and another 20 in Southern Nevada are losing their jobs.

The decision to cut back in Lewiston, Idaho, and in North Las Vegas is part of Potlatch's plan to control costs in a competitive market by streamlining production and expanding marketing, said Michael Sullivan, spokesman for the Spokane, Wash.-based paper and tissue producer.

The North Las Vegas plant includes a new $66 million paper towel machine and an operation that cuts large paper rolls into products.
