Saint-Gobain announced its intention to open a asphalt roofing shingle plant servicing the Central Region of the United States. The company is currently evaluating several possible locations throughout the Midwestern United States. The new facility is expected to cost about $100 million and to employ approximately 125 people.

The construction of this plant will help CertainTeed strengthen its strategic positioning, meet increased market demand for asphalt shingles and reinforce its commitment to top-notch service and easier access to strategically important customers.
