Robyn Smith - President/Publisher: rsmith@nvpublications.com Len Prazych - Vice President “This significant investment demonstrates our com- mitment to Georgia-Pacific’s consumer business, our hard-working teams and our current and potential custom- ers,” said Fernando Gonzalez, President, Georgia-Pacific Consumer Business. “It also allows us to further leverage the many advantages we have, including our commitment to quality and focus on research and development to cre- ate products that consumers value.” Atlanta, Georgia based Georgia-Pacific will invest $500 million in a new paper machine and paper converting equipment at its paper mill in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The project is expected to create roughly 150 jobs. According to company officials, the investments will greatly enhance the company’s retail consumer tissue and towel business. Engineering and related work is beginning immediately, with startup of the new machine scheduled for the first half of 2024. “This truly is an investment in our customers and con- sumers who value the quality of our products,” said Chris- tian Fischer, Georgia-Pacific President and CEO. “We ap- preciate the local community, Brown County, state officials and all of our employees’ hard work and efforts to continue making our Green Bay Broadway mill more competitive.” The improvements will allow expansion of Georgia-Pa- cific’s own premium brands, as well as supporting the growth of current and potential customers’ premium pri- vate label brands, company officials explained.
