Owens Corning announced plans to build a new shingle manufacturing plant in Prattville, Ala., strengthening its U.S. roofing network with added capacity and nearly 100 new skilled jobs.

The 250,000-square-foot facility will feature advanced automation and a four-wide laminator capable of producing around six million squares of laminate shingles annually. Construction is set to begin in early 2026, with production slated for 2027. 

The additional capacity will be used to manufacture high-performing products, including the company’s Duration series, which features patented SureNail technology for strength and durability. It will also support the biggest asphalt shingle region in the country, while enhancing service across the company’s entire shingle network.

“The new Prattville facility will service our growing contractor network as we strengthen our U.S. manufacturing footprint,” said Roofing President Nico Del Monaco. “We are proud to join the Prattville community and expand Owens Corning’s presence in Alabama. This is an attractive location to service our customers, with a dedicated workforce that takes pride in producing a quality product. We look forward to deepening our engagement with the local community.”

Following the completion of the Prattville facility, the Roofing business will operate 17 asphalt roofing and components plants in the U.S.
