Based in Atlanta, Georgia-Pacific is among the world’s leading manufacturers and marketers of bath tissue, paper towels and napkins, tableware, paper-based packaging, office papers, cellulose, specialty fibers, nonwoven fabrics, building products and related chemicals. You might recognize our household brands, such as Brawny® paper towels, Quilted Northern® bath tissue and Dixie® plates, cups and cutlery. If you visit a home improvement store you might see our plywood and lumber products, gypsum panels and other quality building materials. We’re even in public washrooms in places like stadiums, schools and restaurants where you’ll see our enMotion® paper towel machines and automatic soap dispensers.
Georgia-Pacific products are part of everyday life. And while they fill a diverse range of home, commercial and industrial needs, they have one thing in common: they’re all made to high standards of quality and safety. Our 35,000 employees are always looking for better ways of doing things – and our customers, consumers and society benefit.
Georgia-Pacific started out as a hardwood lumber wholesaler in Augusta, Georgia, in 1927. Today, Georgia-Pacific is a wholly owned subsidiary of Koch Industries, Inc., a private company based in Wichita, Kansas. Georgia-Pacific knows strong communities make life better for everyone: our employees, our neighbors, and our customers. That’s why we created the Georgia-Pacific Foundation in 1958 – to set aside resources to improve life in the communities where we live and work. We’ve worked with thousands of outstanding community-based programs, service projects and disaster relief efforts, focusing our investment in four areas where we believe we can make the most impact: Education, Environment, Enrichment and Entrepreneurship.
