Diaper maker First Quality will spend $418 million to expand its Macon plant. The investment, which includes a 50% increase in diaper and training pant manufacturing, new diaper and training pants lines and its automated warehouse facility, will create 600 new jobs. As long as workers earn at least $33,000 a year, the company could qualify for $12 million in state income tax credits, at $4,000 per job over five years.
The company manufactures baby diapers, training pants, a line for adult incontinence, feminine hygiene and wipes products, paper towels, and bath tissues. It will launch new products not currently found in North America and complete this expansion by September 2025.
First Quality acquired the Macon facility in 2008 by purchasing Covidien Retail Products. Its current campus spans more than 1 million square feet and employs 580 workers. The factory is 85 miles southeast of Atlanta.

Robert Khodadadian has long had a simple philosophy about selling real estate. There are approximately a million buildings in the city, and the broker that gets to sell any one among the multitude that will hit the auctioning block at a given moment is, sometimes, simply the person who happens to pitch their services to the right seller.
