Brunswick Cellulose Georgia-Pacific: World Trade Center Savannah’s International Business of the Year.

In the heart of Georgia's Golden Isles, a giant in the pulp and paper industry has not only stood the test of time but has also risen as a beacon of innovation and dedication to community and sustainability.

Brunswick Cellulose, a division of Georgia-Pacific, was recently honored as the 2024 World Trade Center Savannah International Business of the Year, a testament to its commitment to excellence, both in business and in corporate citizenship.

A Legacy of Innovation

For over 80 years, Brunswick Cellulose Georgia-Pacific has transformed Southern Pine into a global commodity. From diapers to hygiene products in Asia, South America, and Europe, the preferred fiber of choice is Southern Yellow Pine, processed in the Brunswick facilities. Nestled strategically between the ports of Brunswick, Savannah, and Jacksonville, this powerhouse has become an essential player in global supply chains, providing fluff pulp to markets around the world.

But Brunswick Cellulose is not resting on its laurels. With a vision deeply rooted in sustainability and innovation, they are currently undergoing a $200 million upgrade, setting their sights on becoming a world-class bio-refinery. This upgrade represents more than just an investment in technology; it's a commitment to enhancing efficiency, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and producing high-quality products that meet the needs of people and our planet.

A Pillar in the Community

Employing nearly 650 locals, Brunswick Cellulose goes beyond being one of the largest employers in Glynn County. Their contributions to the community, from donating $15,000 equipment to local fire departments to active participation in local chambers and The United Way, demonstrate a genuine commitment to being a good neighbor and valuable community partner.

A Significant Customer of Georgia Ports Authority

Brunswick Cellulose's importance extends to being a substantial customer of the Georgia Ports Authority, underlining the interconnectedness of local industries and the global trade network.

This relationship not only boosts the local economy but also places Georgia and its industries at the forefront of international trade and business.

A Future Built on Strong Foundations and Partnership

As we celebrate Brunswick Cellulose and its remarkable achievements, we are reminded of the power of aligning business success with community values and environmental stewardship.

"The recognition as the 2024 World Trade Center Savannah International Business of the Year is not just an honor; it's an example of the power of innovation, community partnership, and sustainability for a brighter and more prosperous future for all," shared Jason Coley, Georgia Power Regional Economic Development Manager.

Jason was joined by other team members from Georgia Power Economic Development and External Affairs to support the leaders and industries growing in the region.
