Georgia Pacific - Palatka
About Georgia Pacific - Palatka
The Southern Group of State Foresters' Primary Forest Products Network register lists this as a pulp and paper mill at 160 County Road 216 in Palatka, taking softwood, with Putnam County as its home county. What the company publishes about itself is corporate rather than local: gp.com carries no page for the Palatka mill, and its locations page offers only a state-by-state selector — Florida is on the list, but the site names no facility inside it. What the site does say is about the owner. Georgia-Pacific dates itself to 1927, when it was founded in Augusta, Georgia, as the Georgia Hardwood Lumber Company, a hardwood lumber wholesaler operating five sawmills in the South; it took the Georgia-Pacific Corporation name in 1956 and moved its headquarters from Portland, Oregon, to Atlanta in 1982. Koch acquired the company in 2005, and the site states plainly that Georgia-Pacific is a Koch, Inc. company, privately held and wholly owned. It counts more than 30,000 employees, more than 150 locations worldwide, locations in nearly 30 states and $15 billion invested into its operations since 2014, and it groups its business into building products, cellulose, consumer products, GP PRO, packaging, pine solutions and recycling — the cellulose line being the one a pulp mill such as this sits within. On stewardship the company says it works to maximise recycling, reduce energy use and set the standard in sustainable forestry, and its history page notes a 2009 Sustainable Forestry Initiative President's Award. Only one Florida item appears anywhere in that history: the company says it closed its Foley Cellulose mill in Perry in 2023, a different site from this one. Nothing on the pages read gives delivery terms, specifications or a buying contact for Palatka. As described on gp.com, read 23 September 2026.
