(The Center Square) – Irving Tissue is bringing 100 more jobs to the Macon-Bibb County area of Georgia as part of a $600 million investment, state officials said Thursday.

The company opened in Macon in 2017 and has invested more than $1.5 billion into the community and created 400 jobs, Gov. Brian Kemp said.

“Irving has been more than just a business in Macon – they’ve been a true member of our team,” said Macon-Bibb County Mayor Lester Miller. “They have a deep commitment to our community and its people, and their decision to expand here speaks volumes about the strong foundation they’ve built.”

Irving makes household paper products, including bath tissue and paper towels. The company will add a third paper-making machine, converting lines and open a fully automated warehouse, according to a news release.

“We greatly appreciate the state of Georgia’s commitment to economic prosperity, jobs, and growth,” said Irving Tissue President Robert Irving. “We’ve also been able to expand because of the highly skilled workforce in the area and the continued support of our valued employees, customers, and suppliers.”

Kemp called Irving a “valued employer for the entire region of Georgia.”

“Today’s announcement is just the latest reminder that here in the No. 1 state for business, our relationships with job creators don’t end after pen meets paper,” Kemp said.
