Georgia-Pacific completes acquisition of SPG Holdings

ATLANTA and DALLAS -- Georgia-Pacific LLC and SPG Holdings LLC announced that they have completed the previously announced acquisition of SPG by Georgia-Pacific.

Financial details of the agreement are not being disclosed.

As a result of the acquisition, Georgia-Pacific acquired all of the equity of SPG held by investors in the company including CIC Partners, a Dallas-based middle market private equity firm that has been the lead investor in the company since 2011.

The acquisition includes SPG's three manufacturing facilities in Green Bay, Wisconsin; Hattiesburg, Mississippi; and Augusta, Georgia; as well as a sales and administrative office in Dallas. Operated by approximately 500 employees, SPG and its facilities now become a wholly owned subsidiary of Georgia-Pacific in the acquisition.

They, along with quality assets, efficient operating model and excellent customer service model, provide a great platform for continued growth of our business."
