The New-Indy Catawba mill site originally opened in 1959 and became a New-Indy subsidiary in 2019. It is a world-class paper manufacturing mill located on the Catawba River that makes lightweight linerboard that is important for packaging.

York Technical College partnered with The Gravity Center and other local organizations to present the “Pursuit of STEM” York County program on June 15.

Twenty-five rising juniors and seniors from York County high schools were selected to participate in Life-Changing Education and Life-Shaping Experiences related to the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. New-Indy Catawba was an educational exhibitor in the STEM Career Expo. It had three employees there representing maintenance and production, electricity, instrumentation, and papermaking at the mill.

The program highlighted STEM and included hands-on learning and problem-solving activities to help students understand the scope of STEM. The session concluded by showing students how STEM skills translate into real-world career opportunities.

Hydrogen sulfide readings at New-Indy and in the surrounding community have been zero or negligible for well over a year.

The 24-hour averages for hydrogen sulfide recorded in parts per billion (ppb) in June and for the year to date were minimal – more than 40 times below the 14-day exposure limit (70 ppb) set by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.

New-Indy Catawba has been monitoring hydrogen sulfide at the mill and in the community since May 2021. Daily reports are generated by monitors and are posted on www.newindycatawba.com.
