GREEN BAY (WGBA) -- Green Bay paper company says they are working normal 24/7 business hours to keep up with the high demand of toilet paper and other products. As people shelter in place, products like toilet paper are flying off shelves at grocery stories and pharmacies.

"Now people are staying home there is going to be more use of those paper products," said Michael Kawleski, the pubic affairs coordinator with Georgia Pacific.

He says they make thousands of rolls everyday for people to use. After they are made in the factory, they are shipped off to local stores. Only factory employees are allowed inside the facility. All other workers are using normal protective equipment.

"From a production stand point, we are a 24 7 operation right now," Kawleski said. "Nothing much has changed we will continue to make products and fill demand as best we can."
