Procter & Gamble paper-products plant

Procter & Gamble announced that it will build a paper-products manufacturing plant. The plant will be situated in the Box Elder County, Utah, USA.

Procter & Gamble Family Care currently has five manufacturing sites in the United States: Albany, Ga.; Cape Girardeau, Mo.; Green Bay, Wis.; Mehoopany, Pa.; and Oxnard, Calif. The Box Elder County plant will be the first new Family Care manufacturing facility in the US.
The facility would be in a current "greenfield" site and would be part of P&G's paper products division, which produces Bounty paper towels, Charmin toilet tissue and Puffs tissue.

Project timescale and investments

The facility will include a new paper machine converting lines and warehouse space. The plant would represent a US$ 540 million capital investment, including US$ 315 million in the project's first phase. It will employ approximately 300 employees. This number is likely to reach 1000 within the next decade.

Construction of the facility is expected to start in early 2008 with the new paper machine starting up in early 2010.
