Owens Corning have announced a $130 million investment in North America to expand its global glass non-wovens business. The new facility will house a state-of-the-art manufacturing line, coating capability, and research and development activities, with future expansion options. <\/p>\n
According to Owens Corning Group President Arnaud Genis;<\/p>\n
There is a limited supply of glass non-woven products serving the global building materials market today. As projections for long-term growth are optimistic, our customers have been eagerly waiting for Owens Corning to offer more of our unique products and solutions to support and accelerate their growth. This new investment further leverages our integrated position as a glass fibre and glass non-woven supplier, and will complement existing non-woven facilities in North America and Europe to ensure we remain the global leader in glass non-woven technology.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The North American facility will use Owens Corning glass fibres supplied from existing facilities and will specialise in high quality glass non-woven applications including wall covering, ceiling and flooring, specialty insulation, gypsum, and automotive products. The location of the new facility has been narrowed to several states, with the final determination based on the proximity to customers, availability of talent, infrastructure and natural resources, and a favorable business environment. Final site selection is expected to be completed in the near future.<\/p>\n
