IP to close Georgetown mill

International Paper has recently confirmed the permanent closure of its Georgetown, SC mill. The mill will shut down in stages with a full closure expected by the end of 2024.

“This decision is especially difficult because of the impact on hard-working employees, their families and the surrounding communities,” said Bernie Chascin, Georgetown Mill Manager, International Paper.

In total, 526 hourly employees and 148 salaried employees will be impacted. All employees will be offered severance benefits, outplacement services and access to mental health resources.
