Owens Corning, a building products leader, announced that it has selected Prattville, Alabama as the location for its new shingle plant in the southeastern United States. This strategic investment, which was announced earlier this year, will expand the company’s Roofing manufacturing network.
The Prattville facility will operate a four-wide laminator capable of producing around six million squares of laminate shingles per year. The additional capacity will be used to manufacture high-performing products including the company’s Duration® series, which feature patented SureNail® technology for strength and durability. It will also support the biggest asphalt shingle region in the country, while enhancing service across the company’s entire shingle network.
Construction on the 250,000-square-foot plant is expected to start in early 2026, with production beginning in 2027. The facility will create nearly 100 skilled manufacturing jobs, and operate leading technology including advanced automation.
“The new Prattville facility will service our growing contractor network as we strengthen our U.S. manufacturing footprint,” said Nico Del Monaco, Roofing President. “We are proud to join the Prattville community and expand Owens Corning’s presence in Alabama. This is an attractive location to service our customers, with a dedicated workforce that takes pride in producing a quality product. We look forward to deepening our engagement with the local community.”
Following the completion of the Prattville facility, the Roofing business will operate 17 asphalt roofing and components plants in the U.S.
