Wipes maker faces closure if a buyer is not found

According to various media outlets, Guy & O’Neill plans to cease operations at its disinfectant wipes manufacturing sites in Wisconsin and North Carolina by the end of the month if a buyer for these assets is not found. Centre Partners, a private equity firm that bought Guy & O’Neill in 2018, put the wipes maker on the selling block late last year. Soonafter a buyer was found but that deal has since fell through.
 
The company will launch an auction sale this month to find a suitable buyer because it has run out of time to go through a traditional sales process. Guy & Neill employs 200 workers at its original site in Freedonia, WI as well as 100 employees in Reidsville, NC, at a site acquired from Albaad in 2022.
 
Guy & O’Neill makes household cleaning and personal care products, including Ally adult care bathing cloths, Care4 makeup remover wipes, Clean Cut disinfecting wipes, Evoke personal lubricant, Green & Clean cleaning products and Zippy car interior wipes.
