EASTOVER, South Carolina – Sylvamo announces major investments at its two South Carolina facilities. The company plans to invest approximately $145 million to reduce costs and enhance the capabilities at its mill in Eastover, South Carolina. The investments come on the heels of the mill’s 40th anniversary. Sylvamo will invest approximately $100 million to speed up one of its paper machines by the end of 2026, modernizing it. The investment will enable the machine to produce approximately 60,000 additional short tons of uncoated freesheet annually. The company will also invest roughly $45 million for a new replacement sheeter at its Sumter, South Carolina, sheeting plant. The state-of-the-art cutsize sheeter will lower costs and add flexibility to service customers when it’s online by late 2026.
