ATLANTA – October 29, 2026 -- Georgia-Pacific is investing approximately $150 million to rebuild a paper machine at its Palatka, Florida, mill, with completion expected in the second quarter of 2028.
Georgia-Pacific replaces the Number Four machine installed in 1980
Work on the project has already begun. The investment replaces the Number Four paper machine, which produces paper for Angel Soft bath tissue. Georgia-Pacific says the rebuild will preserve existing production while increasing the mill's manufacturing capabilities.
Updated technology and safety systems are intended to improve safety, reliability, quality and productivity.
