Investments to the plant will increase production capacity for high quality bath tissue, with initial production expected in 2025.
By the end of this project, the company will have invested over $200m in paper machine and converting assets at the facility since 2022.

“It is a clear indication of Georgia-Pacific’s focus on growing our premium tissue business and creating products that consumers value.”
