Georgia-Pacific's Albany Lumber Facility Produces its 1 Billionth
Boardfoot
ALBANY,
Ga., April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Georgia-Pacific's Albany Lumber
has produced its 1 billionth boardfoot. The record-setting board
rolled off the production line on April
18, just four years after the facility opened in 2020. The
mill tracks production using an internal database, giving employees
insight into volume in real time and to determine important
milestones. Construction on the $150
million, 320,000-square foot, technologically advanced plant
began in 2018. Albany Lumber is one of the two largest mills in the
state of Georgia, and currently
employs more than 150 full-time employees. The mill was also
recently recognized as "Star Business of the Week" by the
Albany Area Chamber of
Commerce.
"Using the industry's latest technology, Albany Lumber receives
approximately 180 log trucks a day, and is capable of producing
approximately 300 million board-feet of lumber each year," said
Michael Johnson, plant manager.
"Watching the 1 billionth boardfoot roll off the line was
exciting for our employees, particularly those that have worked
here since the facility opened. This accomplishment not only
demonstrates our ability to meet customer demand but highlights our
commitment to sustainable forestry practices and responsible
stewardship of our natural resources. We take pride in balancing
our business objectives with environmental sustainability, and this
achievement is a testament to our success in doing so. This
billionth milestone symbolizes the hard work and commitment of
everyone who works at Albany Lumber."
The Albany mill is one of among
15 facilities in Georgia. More
than 7,600 people are employed by Georgia-Pacific in the state, and since 2013,
the company has invested approximately $3
billion in additional capital and acquisitions in
Georgia.
