Johns Manville Announces Major Upgrade to U.S. Nonwoven Glass Mat Production Facility
DENVER — Johns Manville has announced a significant upgrade to its nonwoven glass mat production plant in Waterville, Ohio. Beginning in late 2015, JM will upgrade an existing nonwoven mat line with advanced manufacturing technology that will allow it to better serve customers in growing segments of the global specialty glass mat market. The company anticipates the upgraded production line will be fully operational in early 2016.
JM’s glass nonwoven products are used in a wide range of residential and commercial building as well as specialty industrial applications. In addition to providing strength and reinforcement, customers use specialty glass mat to support surface aesthetics, acoustical performance, mold and mildew resistance and sustainability performance of end-use products.
