Georgia-Pacific Plans Upgrades to Its Prosperity, SC, Plywood Complex

On Wednesday, Georgia-Pacific announced that it will invest $14 million dollars to upgrade its Prosperity, South Carolina, plywood facility.

One of the major focuses of this project will be to upgrade the existing boiler, which will increase fuel efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and help boost the local economy through the jobs the project will create during the renovation.

At the mill, Georgia-Pacific produces some of its flagship plywood products, such as Plytanium Plywood and Ply-Bead, sanded panels.

In a statement accompanying the announcement, Kevin Livingston, the plant manager, said:

“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. 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.”
