A manufacturer of household paper products will invest nearly $600 million to expand its plant in Macon, Gov. Brian Kemp announced Thursday.
Canada-based Irving Tissue will add at least 100 new jobs to the more than 400 existing jobs at the Macon facility.
The company produces a variety of household paper products, including soft bathroom tissue and paper towels.
“We are proud to continue to invest in the state of Georgia and truly appreciate the commitment to helping us expand and grow in Macon,” Irving Tissue President Robert Irving said. “We’ve also been able to expand because of the highly skilled workforce in the area and continued support of our valued employees, customers, and suppliers.”
Irving Tissue will be filling management, supervisory and machinist positions. Interested individuals can learn more about those jobs at careers.jdirving.com.
The Georgia Department of Economic Development’s Global Commerce team worked on the project in partnership with the Macon-Bibb County Industrial Authority.
