GAF to Open Third ISO and TPO Manufacturing Facility
WAYNE, N.J. — GAF announced plans to open a combined polyisocyanurate (ISO) and thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) manufacturing facility in Cedar City, Utah. The opening of this plant is expected to result in at least 50 new jobs. This facility expands the company’s North American single ply commercial roofing system manufacturing network to three ISO operations and three TPO operations, and will be the third ISO plant GAF will open in less than two years. The new plant will produce the full line of GAF TPO products, including new 50 mil and 70 mil EverGuard Extreme® TPO, which are positioned to be the new standard in TPO membranes.
ISO is a foam insulation board and TPO is a single ply roofing membrane. Together they are the main components in single ply roofing systems, which are rapidly growing in popularity thanks to their performance, durability, flexibility, competitive price, energy efficiency, and easy installation. This plant will be equipped to make both polyisocyanurate roof insulation and residential sheathing, as well as TPO.
