WAYNE, N.J. — GAF has started shipments from its new thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) and polyisocyanurate (ISO) plant in Cedar City, Utah. Construction of the state-of-the-art site was announced in spring of 2013. The site houses GAF’s third TPO and third ISO production lines, and is the company’s second combined TPO/ISO facility. TPO began shipping from Cedar City on Aug. 1 and ISO products are expected to begin shipping in early 2015.
The 541,000-square-foot plant produces the full line of GAF TPO products, including EverGuard® TPO and EverGuard Extreme® TPO, and it will manufacture both ISO roof insulation and residential sheathing. In addition, the plant will include a new training center for the Center for the Advancement of Roofing Excellence (CARE) to support the continued and growing demand for its training classes.
