ROXUL Inc. to build multimillion-dollar manufacturing facility
Construction is expected to begin in October this year on the 130-acre site in the City of Ranson, with initial production of ROCKWOOL's stone wool insulation slated to begin in the first quarter of 2020. With a total investment exceeding $150 million US, the new manufacturing facility will cover some 460,000 square feet and employ around 150 people in positions ranging from management levels to the production line.
The Jefferson County production facility will add to the ROCKWOOL Group's already strong presence in North America, where the company has existing manufacturing sites in Marshall County, Mississippi as well as Milton, Ontario and Grand Forks, British Columbia. Further production recently began for ROCKWOOL's acoustic ceiling tile subsidiary Rockfon, at a new production line in Mississippi.
