Georgia‐Pacific will close two particleboard facilities in Hope, Arkansas, and Monroeville, Alabama, over the next couple months and will not rebuild its Thomson, Georgia, facility, which experienced a catastrophic fire last week. Approximately 100 employees at each facility will be impacted, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
Georgia‐Pacific's particleboard production in Diboll, Texas, will remain in operation.
Based in Atlanta, Georgia‐Pacific and its subsidiaries are among the world’s leading manufacturers and marketers of bath tissue, paper towels and napkins, tableware, paper-based packaging, cellulose, specialty fibers, nonwoven fabrics, building products and related chemicals.
