Rockline Industries, a global leader in the manufacture of consumer wet wipes and coffee filters, will add additional facial wipe manufacturing capacity for Walmart at its Springdale, Ark. Plant. The production is moving to the U.S. from the European Union.

In Arkansas, Rockline employs over 800 hourly employees.

Walmart has committed to purchasing an additional $250 billion by 2023 to support domestic manufacturing and U.S. jobs.
