CertainTeed Roofing today commemorated the opening of a new state-of-the-art 60,000 square-foot asphalt shingle manufacturing facility, located 60 miles west of St. Louis in Jonesburg, Missouri. The plant is the final phase of a three-year, $100 million construction project, including a 150,000 square-foot roofing product warehouse which opened in 2014. The site serves as the Midwestern distribution site for all of the company’s high-performance roofing products, optimally servicing Central U.S. customers.
The grand opening event allowed guests, including contractors, architects, and distributors, an opportunity to take tours of the new facility, as well as listen to several local, national and international dignitaries speak about the multi-year project. Scheduled speakers included Pierre-André de Chalendar, chairman and CEO of Saint-Gobain, CertainTeed’s parent company; John Crowe, president and CEO of CertainTeed Corporation; as well as Missouri Governor Jay Nixon and Jonesburg Mayor Bob Sellenriek.
