   "Our customers would buy a lot more product from us if we could make more," said Tim Campbell, Jackson Paper's president and CEO.
   
   The industry is on the upswing after a five-year downturn, when like so many industries the business went overseas. While Asian companies were leaders in electronic production, and major manufacturers of other goods such as toys, the countries were not capable of making good boxes in which to put their products. Items were being made in Asia and shipped over to be put in American boxes, Campbell said.

   Two investors - Tim Campbell and Jeffrey Murphy - bought the Sylva paper mill in 1995.
   ...
   Campbell had worked in the paper industry for 27 years, having been educated as a forestry engineer and spending four years in the military service before going to work for a company that made plywood and paper. Somewhat ironically, Campbell was division president at Mead in Alabama after the company closed shop in Sylva and relocated.
   
   He left the corporate world to start his own business designing and building recycling based mills. The Sylva mill offered a chance to run an established recycling-based operation that was centrally located and provided easy access to metropolitan areas such as Atlanta.
   
   Metropolitan areas are the largest paper consumers and the largest waste paper producers. If a plant were located relatively close to such cities, then it would be close to the supply and demand for its products, Campbell said. Almost 99 percent of Jackson Paper Manufacturing's used cardboard comes from Atlanta, Chattanooga and the Tri-Cities.
   
   But just recycling material to make the paper wasn't enough. Campbell had learned from the Mead experience. The mill had closed because it was unable to adequately process its waste discharge. Under Campbell and Murphy's direction the system was revamped.
   
   "We are among the foremost experts in building closed, zero discharge systems," Campbell said.
   ...
   "We think we're fourth, fifth, sixth lowest cost producer around," Campbell said.
   
   Making sure those costs stay down is three-fold: the cost of wood fuel to heat water and produce steam; the local low cost of electric power; and a motivated, mechanically sound work force.
   
   "This workforce is so much better than the second place one," Campbell said, noting a plant he worked at in Louisiana.
