USG Canadian Division to Build Wallboard Manufacturing Plant in Alberta
CGC Inc., the Canadian division of USG Corp., announced plans to build a new, state-of-the-art wallboard manufacturing plant in Wheatland County, Alberta. This CAD $210 million investment reinforces CGC’s commitment to the Canadian market and will allow CGC to better serve its valued customers in Alberta and the West. Construction on the plant is projected to begin this year.
“Our customers in Western Canada have said they want a more efficient way to access our CGC wallboard products they’ve been buying for over 100 years,” said Chris Griffin, President and CEO of USG Corporation. “Shipping our products from Eastern Canadian or American manufacturing plants no longer meets their growing demand, which is why I am thrilled to announce our plans for a brand new CGC wallboard plant in Wheatland County, Alberta—a cutting-edge facility that will deliver our industry-leading Sheetrock brand wallboard to our customers across Western Canada, helping them build faster, smarter and more sustainably.”
