Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal visited Rayonier’s Jesup mill Thursday as the company celebrated the completion of a $385 million expansion of its production of cellulose specialties fibers.
The projected added 190,000 metric tons of capacity to the Jesup mill, the company said in a release.
The technically advanced fibers are used in flat-screen televisions, computer screens, impact-resistant plastics, filters, tires, paint, food and pharmaceuticals, Rayonier said.
The company said it produces the only wood-based cellulose fibers pure enough for use in the manufacture of LCD screens.
