Georgia Pacific plans paper mill in Tennessee
Georgia-Pacific announced Monday that it will invest at least $425 million to build a state-of-the-art Dixie® manufacturing facility in Jackson, Tenn., and create 220 jobs.
A subsidiary of Koch Industries, Inc., Georgia-Pacific, will focus its new Tennessee manufacturing facility on the production of Dixie® paper plates to support the company’s growing product demand at its three Dixie® plants. Construction of the new 900,000-square-foot facility is expected to begin before the end of the year and is expected to be complete in the summer of 2024.
With the addition of a facility in Tennessee, Georgia-Pacific will have a total of six facilities dedicated to the manufacture of Dixie® products, including four producing plates and bowls.
“Although we have invested in expanding existing sites, this is the first new Dixie® facility the Company has built since 1991,” said Fernando Gonzalez, president of Georgia-Pacific’s consumer business, in an announcement of the new facility.
