Georgia Primary Wood-Using Industries Directory 2011 Introduction This publication is the most current directory of primary manufacturers of forest products in Georgia. Companies listed were operating in 2010. The Directory is a marketing guide to maximize global competitiveness of Georgia grown and manufactured wood products. The Directory can benefit persons or firms, both interstate and intrastate, seeking to buy or sell specific items. The Directory focuses on primary wood-using industries. Primary wood-using industries convert roundwood products (saw logs, veneer logs, pulpwood, etc.) into primary wood products such as lumber, veneer or sheathing, poles and posts, and wood pulp. Wood-using industries that produce energy products such as biofuels, electricity and wood briquettes & pellets, are also included. A Mill Location Map is provided on pages 4-5 to assist with referencing mill locations. Specific mill information includes map number, company name by mill type, mill location by city & county, sales contact person & telephone number, type of wood used (hardwood=HW, softwood=SW), and website or email. One-hundred fifty-one mills are referenced in the Directory. The tally of mills per mill type is shown below.

Of the 24.8 million acres, 24.4 million acres is timberland available for commercial use more than any other state in the U.S. More than 22 million acres are privately owned timberland-more than any other state in the U.S. The central and southeastern regions of the state contain the highest proportions of timberland. Georgia's timberland is 46% softwood & 54% hardwood. Georgia's timberland acreage has changed less than 2% since 1972. Forest Inventory and Analysis, USDA Forest Service 2010 Area of Timberland by Forest Type Timberland by County Timberland Ownership Logging Industry Georgia has a well-educated supply of logging contractors that ensures a constant flow of raw material from forests to mills. Approximately 1,000 logging contractor companies operate in Georgia, averaging over 9 loads of wood per day across the state.
