Owens Corning to build new shingle plant
Ohio-based Owens Corning has shared plans for investment in a new shingle manufacturing facility in the southeastern United States. The specific location has not yet been announced, though the company says it will be revealed later in 2025.
Gunner Smith, the company's roofing president, said: “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 Owens Corning shingles including Duration series, which feature the company’s patented SureNail technology. The facility will use new technology including advanced automation and will create nearly 100 skilled manufacturing jobs, according to Owens Corning.
The Owens Corning Roofing business operates 17 manufacturing facilities in the U.S.
