12/18/2024
Global tissue, pulp, packaging and building products maker Georgia-Pacific plans to expand its mill operations in Crossett, Arkansas. The $90 million project is expected to create 50 jobs.

The investment will increase converting capacity for high quality bath tissue, including the company’s valued Angel Soft brand. Production is scheduled to begin in 2026.

“I am proud of our Crossett team members and their ongoing work to make this a safe, competitive and strategic location for our Consumer Products business,” said Deb Coduto, vice president of manufacturing, at the Crossett mill. “This investment reflects their dedication to our mill, our customers and consumers and to the community that supports us.”

Georgia-Pacific and its subsidiaries are manufacturers and marketers of bath tissue, paper towels and napkins, tableware, paper-based packaging, cellulose, specialty fibers and building products. The company currently operates more than 150 facilities.

“Georgia-Pacific is an international leader in the timber and forest products industry, and we are excited that they are investing $90 million to expand their facility in Arkansas,” noted Clint O’Neal, executive director of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission. "This is a major win for Crossett, creating 50 new jobs for Arkansans in the area, and shows that Southeast Arkansas is strong and well positioned for continued economic development success.”

The Crossett Economic Development Foundation played a key role in assisting Georgia-Pacific with selecting Crossett for this investment,” added Mike Smith, executive director of the Crossett Economic Development Foundation (CEDF). “This investment demonstrates GP’s commitment for the long-term to Crossett and adds much-needed jobs to our community.”
