“These employees have shown unwavering dedication and loyalty to the composite panel industry,” said Andrew Dover, Georgia-Pacific Diboll Particleboard Plant Manager. Their wealth of experience and expertise has been a driving force behind the plant’s success, and we commend their significant contributions.'"

We're a close-knit group that genuinely enjoys both the work we do and the people we work alongside every day."
