With hundreds of claims filed against the company since 1986, family members of former Conwed employees share how they witnessed their loved ones die after being exposed to asbestos at the Cloquet factory.
H&S Manufacturing is a vibrant, agricultural related manufacturing company that sprang from an innovative potato and sugarbeet farm in northwest Minnesota.
For over a decade, workers at the factory claim they unknowingly risked their health, causing some to develop lung abnormalities, while others lost their lives.
Several other area businesses also received fines in the first half of 2020 from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, according to a report issued this week.
Mike Schultz, managing director of Cloquet’s Sappi mill, was promoted to Sappi North America’s vice president of manufacturing effective Sept. 1, according to a news release.
