From Nuclear Tech to Tissue Exec: An Interview with Vince Reese, Cardinal Tissue, Paper360º September/October 2025

At Cardinal Tissue, employees are not merely hired hands—founder and CEO Vince Reese calls them “the heart of our company.” Since its founding in 2017, Reese has envisioned Cardinal not only as the manufacturer of world-class tissue products (including toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, and facial tissue), but a place where people could grow their skills.

Today, Cardinal Tissue is a best-in-class tissue manufacturer that provides national brand equivalent tissue products for private label retailers. The company thrives on the ideas and ingenuity of employees at every level. It’s part of the company culture, says Reese: “Our entire team is passionate about the work that they do for the tissue industry, and their creative and collaborative spirit is truly palpable.”
