Irving Tissue to Expand, Create 150+ Jobs in Macon
Atlanta, GA Governor Brian P. Kemp today announced that Irving Tissue, one of North America's leading manufacturers of household paper products, will expand its operations in Macon, creating more than 150 jobs and investing $400 million in a new manufacturing facility following the grand-opening of the company's most recent plant in Macon.
"Irving Tissue has been an excellent employer in Macon-Bibb County," said Governor Kemp. "We are excited to see this great, Georgia Made company expand its operations even further. This announcement speaks to the strength of Georgia's booming manufacturing industry, made possible by our world-class workforce. As the No. 1 State for Business seven years in a row, we know our existing industries create more opportunities for hardworking Georgians every day, and I am grateful for Irving Tissue's continued investment in Georgia."
"It is an honor to celebrate the commitment Irving Tissue has made to Macon and the surrounding area," said Lt. Governor Duncan. "We have worked hard here in Georgia to cultivate a diverse and developed workforce, as well as a high quality of living. It is exciting to witness companies like Irving Tissue take advantage of these factors invest in our state's continued growth."
This new announcement comes on the heels of the official opening of Irving Tissue's newest plant in Macon, a $470 million project employing more than 200 people. The grandopening for that facility took place in conjunction with the announcement of this new expansion.
