Investment Increases Capacity for Owens
Corning’s High-Performing Laminate Shingle Portfolio Including
Premium Duration® Series Shingles
Owens Corning (NYSE: OC), a residential and commercial building
products leader, today announced an investment in shingle
manufacturing capacity with the addition of a new facility in the
southeastern United States. The strategic investment will expand
the company’s Roofing manufacturing network, enhancing Owens
Corning’s ability to meet the strong and growing demand for its
shingles.
Gunner Smith, Roofing President, said, “We are focused on
offering unmatched value to our customers by providing the premium
quality building products and solutions they need to grow their
businesses. Through this investment, and the many investments we
have made over the last several years to enhance our manufacturing
network, we are expanding our ability to meet the strong demand for
Owens Corning shingles.”
The new southeast plant will operate a four-wide laminator
capable of producing around six million squares per year and is
expected to begin production in 2027. The additional capacity will
be used to manufacture high-performing Owens Corning shingles
including Duration® series, which feature the company’s patented
SureNail® technology for strength and durability. The facility will
operate leading technology including advanced automation and will
create nearly 100 skilled manufacturing jobs. The plant location is
expected to be announced later this year.
The addition of this new facility will accelerate the company’s
shingle capacity expansion investments, which have included process
improvements and automation to boost production across the network.
This also includes the previously announced addition of laminate
capabilities through a convertible line at the company’s Medina,
Ohio facility which is expected to come online mid-year. When
combined, these previous investments unlock capacity similar to the
volume expected from the new southeastern plant.
The Owens Corning Roofing business operates 17 manufacturing
facilities in the U.S.
Owens Corning will exhibit at The International Roofing Expo
(IRE), the largest roofing and exteriors event in North America,
from February 19-21, 2025, at the Henry B. González Convention
Center in San Antonio, Texas. To connect with the Owens Corning
