Georgia-Pacific To Close Cedar Springs Containerboard Mill

Georgia-Pacific plans to permanently close the Cedar Springs containerboard mill in Georgia later this year. Most positions will be concluded by August 1. All jobs at the Ce- dar Springs mill will eventually be impacted. “Ultimately, we do not believe that the mill can compet- itively serve our customers in the long term. This decision has nothing to do with the quality of work of Georgia-Pa- cific’s employees at the Cedar Springs mill,” said the com- pany in a statement. Approximately 535 jobs will be impacted by this clo- sure. Production will continue for a limited time as the site works to fulfill customer commitments. “Georgia-Pacific’s focus in the coming weeks and months is to continue to safely operate while supporting our employees during the transition,” concluded the com- pany in its statement.
