CAMDEN, Texas — Georgia-Pacific announced that it is modifying lumber operations at two lumber facilities in Camden, Texas, and Prosperity, South Carolina. 

Over the next couple of months, these sites will discontinue lumber production from logs while maintaining plywood core sawing operations. The modifications will not have an impact on Georgia-Pacific’s plywood facilities located within the same complexes as these lumber operations.

Georgia-Pacific Lumber President Fritz Mason said:

“Georgia-Pacific has an excellent workforce at both Camden and Prosperity Lumber, and our employees should be commended for maintaining competitive facilities for many years. However, in the past year we have experienced historically challenging market conditions. As a result, the decision was made to modify our current operations at these two facilities.

Our goal is to effectively run the current lumber operations at Camden and Prosperity to give us time to adequately address employee transfers and potential relocations. After the allotted run time, the sites will only saw plywood cores.”
