In June, CertainTeed Corporation commemorated the opening of a new, state-of-the-art roofing product warehouse located 60 miles west of St. Louis in Jonesburg, Mo. The 150,000-square-foot warehouse is just the first phase of a planned $100 million complex that will serve as the Midwestern production and distribution site for all of the company’s high-performance roofing products. A 60,000-square-foot manufacturing facility that will produce CertainTeed’s Landmark™ shingles is now under construction at the same location, and the company plans to have it up and running in 2016.
As part of Roofing Contractor’s Made in the U.S.A. series, Tom Smith, president of CertainTeed Roofing, shared his insights on how the new investments fit into the company’s overall strategy.
