Industry[edit]

Green Bay was known as the "Toilet Paper Capital of the World" because of the prevalence of the paper industry in the city.[58] Northern Paper Company, Fort Howard Paper Company, and Hoberg Paper Company were among Green Bay's first paper companies. Northern Paper Mills, founded in Green Bay in 1901, became the largest producer of toilet paper in the world as Northern Tissue in 1920.[59] Northern Paper Company offered the first splinter-free toilet paper in the early 1930s.[60] The presence of the paper industry helped Green Bay avoid the worst effects of the Great Depression.[61] Today, major paper producers include Georgia-Pacific[62] and Procter & Gamble,[63] with niche companies such as Steen-Macek Paper Company.[64]


Among the earliest packing companies in Green Bay were Acme Packing Company and Indian Packing Company, the namesake of the Green Bay Packers.[65] Today, major meatpackers in the city include JBS S.A. (formerly Packerland Packing)[66] and American Foods Group.
