American Tissue Mills of Maine

The supplied evidence does not contain any information about American Tissue Mills of Maine. Both snippets are from Mashable: one is a technology news article about Meta's Muse Wonder AI model family, and the other is Mashable's own contact page. Neither mentions a tissue, paper, or Maine-based manufacturing business. On the basis of the name alone, the subject appears to be a paper-products manufacturing operation connected to the U.S. state of Maine, which would place it in the paper and forest-products industry rather than in technology or media. However, no founding date, ownership structure, headquarters location, product line, executive, or corporate history can be confirmed from the evidence provided. Because the identity of this entity cannot be verified against the supplied sources, this dossier is intentionally minimal. It should be treated as a placeholder pending reliable brand-level evidence such as an official website, corporate registry filing, trade-press coverage, or an encyclopedia entry specific to the company. No claims about products, markets, or ownership have been asserted here in order to avoid fabricating facts.

  Greater Augusta Utility District sues paper companies over PFAS contamination of Augusta-area drinking-water wells

  The Greater Augusta Utility District, which supplies drinking water to about 13,750 residents in and around Augusta, Maine, filed a federal lawsuit against Sappi North America, Huhtamaki, Kimberly-Clark, American Tissue Mills of Maine and American Tissue Corp. The district alleges that PFAS released from the companies' paper, packaging and tissue facilities over decades entered the Kennebec River and connected groundwater and contaminated the wells serving the Augusta area. The district alleges PFAS was detected in its well water in October 2021 and rose above Maine's drinking-water standard in November 2024, and it seeks to hold the companies jointly and severally liable under the federal Superfund law (CERCLA) for past and future investigation, monitoring, treatment and cleanup costs. Sappi said it is reviewing the complaint, stating it is in compliance with all environmental regulations and does not knowingly use PFAS-containing materials; the other named companies did not respond to comment requests.
