Georgia-Pacific announced a $90 million investment in its Crossett mill to expand its consumer tissue production, including its Angel Soft® brand.
The project, set to begin production in 2026, will create 50 new jobs and bring the company's total investment in the facility to over $250 million since 2019.
"This investment underscores our commitment to providing high-quality products to consumers," said Vivek Joshi, president of Georgia-Pacific’s retail tissue division.
The Crossett mill, employing over 400 people, will see an increase in converting capacity to enhance the production of premium bath tissue. Local and state leaders praised the announcement, emphasizing its economic benefits for Crossett and southeast Arkansas.
Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders commended the expansion, noting, “This is a testament to our state’s pro-business policies.”
Crossett Mayor Crystal Marshall and other officials highlighted the partnership between Georgia-Pacific and the local community, expressing optimism for future growth.
The investment aligns with Georgia-Pacific’s strategy to strengthen its footprint in the timber and forest products sector while supporting regional economic development.
