Georgia-Pacific Corporation

About Georgia-Pacific Corporation

Georgia-Pacific Corporation is a large paper and lumber manufacturer listed as a mill in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The listing gives Spartanburg as the county it serves and places its mill record in Cherokee county. The company was founded in 1927 in Augusta, Georgia, as Georgia Hardwood Lumber Company, a hardwood lumber wholesaler. It took its present name in 1956. In 1927 it operated five sawmills in the South, and its Pineland, Texas lumber complex was modernized in 2021 and is described as the largest sawmill in the South. Its lumber work now also includes facilities in Georgia, Alabama and Arkansas. Today the company makes bath tissue, paper towels, tableware, building products and packaging, and it runs a large recycling business. Its homepage says it works to "set the standard in sustainable forestry." It is privately owned by Koch, Inc., and reports more than 150 locations. This is a large corporate manufacturer, not a timber-buying operation for small tracts. It suits a landowner who is looking at a major mill rather than a local buyer of a few acres.
