Good afternoon, Antioch!
Congratulations, Fischer Paper Products! Yesterday, Lake County Partners honored Fischer Paper with its 2024 Lake County Community Investment Award. The award highlighted Fischer’s commitment to investing in workforce development initiatives. Fischer Paper has called Antioch home for over 50 years! In that time, they’ve become a leader in their industry, providing paper products to the restaurant industry. It’s fun to see their products in restaurants across the county! Congratulations Josh Fischer and your entire team at Fischer Paper Products on this well-deserved award!
