After 43 years of operation, Crocker Technical Papers will close before the end of the year, leaving about 40 of its employees without jobs, according to a spokesman with Neenah Paper Inc., which owns the specialty-paper mill.

"The operation is just not sustainable or efficient," said Bill McCarthy, vice president of financial planning and analysis and investor relations for Neenah Paper. "We expect operations to cease sometime in the fourth quarter."
