"Heartwood's growth investment in The Amlon Group significantly enhances our future prospects,” Amlon Group CEO Lee Lasher says.
The Amlon Group, Plano, Texas, is an environmental services company focused on recycling, processing, treatment and management of metal and nonmetal bearing industrial and hazardous waste streams. Heartwood Partners LLC, headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut, has announced a growth investment in The Amlon Group that was finalized in December 2021 in partnership with the founders and management who will continue to lead the company. The Broadway mill marked its 100th anniversary in 2019. Georgia-Pacific says the capital investment at its Green Bay facilities has totaled more than $700 million since 2006. The facility consumes more than 430,000 tons of recovered paper each year. “We appreciate the local community, Brown County, state officials and all of our employees' hard work and efforts to continue making our Green Bay Broadway mill more competitive for the long-term.”Ĭurrently, the Broadway mill operates seven paper machines and several converting operations to make bath tissue, paper towels, napkins and facial tissue for retail and away-from-home use. “This truly is an investment in our customers and consumers who value the quality of our products,” Georgia-Pacific President and CEO Christian Fischer says. On its website, Georgia-Pacific refers to its Broadway mill as “one of the largest wastepaper recycling operations in the world.” Adds the firm, “It uses more than 430,000 tons of recovered wastepaper each year to produce paper products found in airports, hotels, restaurants, hospitals and schools.”
The project first was announced in December 2021 and is expected to be complete in 2024. The company says the investments will significantly enhance the company's retail consumer tissue and towel business, and include building a new paper machine using through-air-dried (TAD) technology and adding associated converting equipment and infrastructure. Georgia-Pacific, a packaging producer headquartered in Atlanta, has announced a $500 million expansion to its Broadway mill in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and officially broke ground on the project July 20.
