The Directory is designed to serve as a reference for producers seeking to Sandie Sparks, Vice Chairperson Ellijay market their wood products and for wood users in locating suppliers. Ember Bentley Macon The forest products industry remains a strong economic force in Georgia. Our latest study of Ben Gillis Dublin the industry shows an increase in economic output from 2017 to 2018. The total direct and Chad Nimmer indirect impact of the forest industry on Georgia’s economy in 2018 increased .9% to $36.3 Blackshear billion, with a total of 148,414 jobs. Forestry ranked first among all industries in the state in Robert Pollard Appling wages and salaries, with $4.0 billion paid. Ken Sheppard Vidalia Georgia’s commercial forest totals 24.5 million acres that are sustainably managed primarily by private landowners. This forest should continue to supply solid wood and fiber to a strong forest industry for decades into the future. The Commission’s staff is working to insure that Georgia firms invest in Georgia wood product manufacturing as globalization places increasingly competitive demands on the industry. Creating enhanced forest value by marketing Georgia’s products through this Primary Wood-Using Industries Directory is an important part of our mission. The Georgia Forestry Commission invites new and existing Georgia forest product industries to be included in future editions of this directory by contacting us at 1-800-GA-TREES. I also invite your comments on how the Georgia Forestry Commission can better provide the right services to you, a valued partner in Georgia’s forest industry. Sincerely, Gary White Deputy Director i Georgia Primary Wood-Using Industries Directory 2020 Table of Contents Preface pg. iii Mill Location Map pg. v Companies by Type of Business pg. 1 Companies that Export pg. 80 Urban Wood-using Mills pg. 102 Companies by County pg. 108 Index pg. 117 ii Georgia Primary Wood-Using Industries Directory 2020 Preface This publication is the 2020 directory of primary manufacturers of forest products in the state. It is a marketing guide to maximize global competitiveness of Georgia grown and manufactured wood products. The directory can benefit persons or firms, both interstate and intrastate, seeking to buy or sell specific items. The information contained in this directory is as up-to-date as possible. Data was collected in early, 2020. Data entry and editing occurred in mid-2020. A comprehensive effort was made to locate and interview all qualifying companies. This directory contains information on primary industries only – mills that process roundwood in log or bolt form or as chipped roundwood. A Georgia Counties and Mill Location Map is provided to assist with referencing mill locations. Companies by Type of Business provides information such as company name, mail address and location, telephone and fax number, email and website, the type of business in which the company is engaged, products, by-products, species of wood used, and manufacturing facilities. In some situations, a mill may produce more than one primary product and thus will be listed in more than one section. An alphabetic character denotes a particular size class based on employment. Employment Size Class: A = 1-3 D = 20-49 G = 200-499 B = 4-9 E = 50-99 H = 500-999 C = 10-19 F = 100-199 J = 1000 + Companies that Export lists mills that export their products. Companies by County lists mills by county of location and type of business along with the related page number in the type of business listing. The Index is an alphabetical listing of companies and their related page numbers. Appendix A – Commercial Tree Species is a list of tree species by common and scientific Latin name. Appendix B – Forest Industry and Product Search Tools provides links to several online databases.
