“Opening this spectacular new warehouse on schedule is a testament to our firm commitment to the St. Louis community, as well as the graciousness of state and local officials,” said Tom Smith, president of CertainTeed Roofing. “Our company was founded over a century ago in St. Louis, and we’re proud to say we’re well on our way to having another home base in the area, which will guarantee efficient local order delivery.”

Construction is already underway for the 60,000-square-foot manufacturing facility that will produce CertainTeed’s highly popular Landmark^™ roofing shingles. When complete, the facility will serve as the production and distribution site for residential roofing shingles, bringing approximately 100 new permanent local jobs to the community over the next few years, along with an estimated 400 ancillary local jobs in trucking, welding and maintenance services.
