Another SE Texas Business Closing
Posted on 10/18/23 at 9:30 am

The southEast Texas area is losing another large employer with the announcement that IP mill will be closing. That’s another 400 to 500 people losing jobs.
The previous recent business announcing closing was Invista Chemical Orange Tx. location. That is 240 jobs that will be lost.
Not to mention all the auxiliary support jobs that will be affected.

Sounds like they better tighten up or they risk more leaving.

True but the place will be under construction for several years and not of help much in the short term.

You know what would be a better title:
"International Paper will close it's mill in Orange Texas"
...but I guess you prefer click bait titles.

That mill was almost entirely containerboard. That business should still be pretty strong. Kind of surprised they are shutting it down unless there is a problem with the mill specifically. There are at least 2 towns in Louisiana where IP was the primary employer before they shut down the mills there - and the same story with Courtland AL.
There's a lot of consolidation in that industry. IP buys out smaller producers and concentrates production in fewer mills - I'm surprised they were never dinged with antitrust yet.
I imagine it's difficult for IP to offer salaries and comp to draw workers away from all the chemical and refinery jobs in SE Texas.

I think you are confused, it will create over 8,000 jobs during construction
