Georgia Pacific Lebanon is making a significant investment of more than $20 million in its plant in Tennessee.
Its existing corrugator will be replaced with a new one to provide greater throughput to the plant and better quality products to the customers.
“This is as much an investment in our current and future customers as it is in our Lebanon operations,” said Georgia-Pacific region general manager Rob Streeter. “This new technologically advanced corrugator will give us the ability to supply independent and integrated box and display customers in the Mid-South with advanced offerings such as two-sided high-quality prints, including Georgia-Pacific’s Hummingbird Digital Print Includes a variety of fluting options for the converted board.”
The project will be conducted in phases through 2023, while the existing corrugated board continues to operate. The planned start-up of the new entity will take place in the first half of 2024.
The Lebanon plant employs 75 people and was built and commissioned by Georgia-Pacific in 1993. It serves customers in Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, Kentucky and Alabama, and even southern Illinois, western Arkansas, Missouri, eastern North. Carolina and South Carolina.
