PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Wolverine Worldwide said it expects to spend up to $3 million over the remainder of the year on its response to contamination from former dump sites in northern Kent County.
In a conference call on its third-quarter earnings, the company said it already has spent about $500,000.
“Frankly, from our point of view, these are our families, our friends and our neighbors and we’ve been as proactive as possible and conservative and transparent,” Blake Krueger, the president and CEO of the Rockford-based shoe manufacturer, said during the conference call.
Wolverine used 3M’s Scotchgard for years at its now-closed Rockford tannery to waterproof footwear.
