Georgia-Pacific said it will permanently close a corrugated packaging plant in Doraville. The closing will affect about 90 employees, the Atlanta-based paper and building products company said.
The operations are expected to be completely shut down in April, spokeswoman Karen Cole said Thursday.
Cole said employees are encouraged to apply for other openings within the company. Georgia-Pacific has two other packaging plants in the state, in Augusta and Albany.
“The business from Doraville for the most part will be absorbed into those two,” Cole told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Georgia-Pacific has 18 total plants across Georgia, not including the Doraville location.
Half of the company’s more than 6,000 Georgia employees in work in metro Atlanta. The company employs a total of 35,000.
