Georgia-Pacific making major upgrades to S.C. plywood mill
Georgia-Pacific is investing in its plywood mill located in Prosperity, South Carolina, through $14 million worth of upgrades and improvements to mill operations.
According to the company, one of the key focuses of the project is to upgrade the existing boiler, which it says will increase fuel efficiency, reduce environmental impact and help boost the local economy through the jobs the project will create during the renovation.
“By enhancing the boiler at the mill, we are continuing to show our commitment to continuous improvement and our dedication to reinvesting in the mill, the town of Prosperity, and the surrounding community,” said Kevin Livingston, plant manager for Georgia-Pacific’s Prosperity Plywood Mill. “Along with this upgrade to the boiler, we are investing millions of dollars in other improvements across the mill. These improvements will help us focus on being an environmentally conscious, 21st century mill that continues to provide great jobs to people in our area.”
Since 1975, the mill has been operating in South Carolina, producing plywood products like GP's Plytanium Plywood and Ply-Bead sanded panels.
