Manufacturing Production Worker

Georgia-Pacific – Production Workers – Madison Plywood Facility

We manufacture pine plywood panels and siding that are ideal for residential and light commercial construction such as subflooring, wall and roof sheathing, and concrete formwork.

Plywood is a strong, versatile product made by gluing together thin layers (veneers) of wood with the grain of each layer running in opposite directions. This cross‑graining makes it stable, durable, and resistant to warping.
