Georgia-Pacific Paper and Building Products

Georgia-Pacific is one of the world's leading manufacturers and marketers of bath tissue, paper towels, napkins, tableware, paper-based packaging, cellulose, specialty fibers, and building products. Founded in 1927 in Augusta, Georgia, the company initially started as a hardwood lumber wholesaler and has since grown into a global powerhouse in the pulp and paper industry.

The company is well-known for household brands such as Brawny towels, Angel Soft and Quilted Northern bath tissue, and Dixie cups and plates. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, the company underwent a significant transformation in 2005 when it was acquired by Koch Industries. This acquisition transitioned Georgia-Pacific from a publicly traded company to a wholly owned subsidiary of one of the largest private conglomerates in the world.

Today, Georgia-Pacific operates over 150 facilities and employs tens of thousands of people. Their manufacturing footprint is heavily concentrated in North America to serve the domestic market, utilizing sustainable forestry practices and advanced recycling technologies to produce essential goods for both residential and commercial sectors.
