Tommy Blaylock recently joined the Georgia-Pacific Brewton mill team as vice president and general manager, replacing Jeff Joyce, who was promoted.
Blaylock, a Gardendale, Ala., native, joined GP’s Alabama River Cellulose mill in Monroeville in 2013 as operations manager before being promoted in 2017 to general manager of the GP Memphis Cellulose mill in Tennessee.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from the University of Alabama and has 25 years of experience within the paper industry. Prior to joining GP, he worked for multiple paper companies in increasing roles of responsibility.
“It’s great to come back home to Alabama and be part of the Brewton mill team,” Blaylock said. “The mill has a long history of community support and is considered a leading employer within the region. I’m looking forward to building off the strong reputation the team has developed as a competitive performer within the paper industry and plan to continue to create long-term value for GP, our customers and the community.”
