[quote=Anonymous][quote] International Paper to close 4 facilities, affecting 1,100 employees
The latest in a series of closures brings the number of impacted workers to roughly 3,600 since October 2024.
International Paper announced on Thursday four site closures in Georgia affecting a total of 1,100 hourly and salaried workers: one containerboard mill in Riceboro and another in Savannah; a packaging facility in Savannah; and a timber and lumber mill in Riceboro.
The Savannah containerboard mill will shut down in stages by Sept. 30, removing approximately 1 million tons of annual containerboard capacity, according to a securities filing Thursday. The Riceboro containerboard mill also will shut down in stages, by Sept. 12, reducing IP’s annual capacity by 430,000 tons.
IP simultaneously announced another packaging business change: It will put $250 million toward converting the No. 16 machine at its Riverdale mill in Selma, Alabama, to produce containerboard instead of uncoated freesheet. IP anticipates the conversion will be completed in the third quarter of 2026, but it did not directly disclose how much containerboard capacity this would add to its system.[/quote]

Looks like 4 plants are shutting down. Georgia and red states are just not business friendly. Too bad a plant with 8,000 jobs is now closing. Wonder how the tariffs will impact the farmers in Georgia?[/quote]
