Irving Tissue's expansion in Macon, which adds a third paper machine, reflects growing demand as the mill currently sells all its produced bath tissue and paper towels.
Marc Doucette mentioned, 'We've had tremendous success in Macon and with the plant currently sold out, this is the right plant for the expansion.' This underlines the strategic choice for investment.
The new facility aims for significant growth from producing 165,000 tons to 248,000 tons of tissue yearly, demonstrating the company's commitment to meet rising consumer demand.
As part of the expansion, Irving may qualify for $2 million in state tax credits, indicative of the local government's support for job creation and economic development.
