IKO Announces Plans for New Granule Facility in Missouri
TORONTO — IKO has announced today plans for the establishment of a new quarry and granule production facility near Ironton, Mo.
The $75-million project will see IKO establish both a quarry site as well as a state of the art roofing granule manufacturing and coloring plant in the area. The new facility, which will employ about 50 in the region once in full operation, will be the third of its kind constructed and operated by IKO. The company currently operates granule facilities in Madoc, Ontario; and Ashcroft, British Columbia. The current timeline calls for IKO to break ground on the site in 2022, and to commission the plant in 2024.
