Georgia-Pacific is gearing up to begin construction on a $91 million upgrade project at its containerboard mill in Monticello, Mississippi, which will involve replacing the existing log line. The new log line will reduce truck unloading times, improve wood yield, and increase truck traffic flow. It is expected to strengthen the mill's relationships with wood suppliers and enhance its competitive position in the industry. Drexel Lambert, Vice President for Georgia-Pacific containerboard operations, said that the project would create long-term value and help the company become the best manufacturer in the industry. Georgia-Pacific is a global manufacturer and marketer of a wide range of products, including paper-based packaging, building products, and specialty fibers.
