Forget Outsourcing GP's In-plant Succeeds Where FM Failed

Well-rounded Operation

Georgia-Pacific, a leading manufacturer of tissue, packaging, paper and building products, reported 2004 sales of $20 billion. It recently reached an agreement to be acquired by Koch Forest Products.

Located in Georgia-Pacific's Atlanta headquarters building, Graphics & Printing Services has evolved into a well-rounded operation in the 13 years since the company restarted it. Offering both digital and offset printing, plus design and bindery services, the in-plant produces everything from stationery, forms and training manuals to marketing brochures and posters. It even handles variable data printing, creating templates for invoices and downloading data from the company's mainframes. CD and DVD duplicating is another service the shop has started providing.
