Owens Corning to Build New Shingle Plant in Southeastern U.S.

Investment Increases Capacity for Owens Corning’s High-Performing Laminate Shingle Portfolio Including Premium Duration ^® Series Shingles

Owens Corning, a residential and commercial building products leader, 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 team at IRE, please contact mediarelations@owenscorning.com.
