IKO Announces $360+ Million Manufacturing Projects in South Carolina
WILMINGTON, Del. — IKO announced in a joint press conference with the State of South Carolina that the company will be constructing two new manufacturing sites in Chester County.
The two projects will include the acquisition of a site on Lancaster Highway outside of Chester, which will become a new fiberglass manufacturing facility. The second project, located about a quarter mile away, will use the fiberglass plant's output to manufacture fiberglass mat in a new, 325,000-square-foot state-of-the-art plant. Glass mat is a vital component in asphalt shingle production, and the mat plant will supply IKO's growing network of shingle manufacturing sites in the United States.
