Georgia-Pacific officially opened its new Dixie disposable paper tableware manufacturing site in Jackson, Tennessee today. Initially announced in September 2022, the approximately US$425 million facility is Georgia-Pacific’s first new Dixie greenfield plant build since the Bowling Green, Kentucky facility opened in 1991. The plant will produce Dixie and Dixie Ultra products for retail and out-of-home customers — including plates, bowls, platters and deep dishes. It will significantly increase the supply of disposable tableware products in the marketplace.
