Kingspan Insulated Panels North America has celebrated the grand opening of its new manufacturing facility in Mattoon, Ill. This plant will focus on producing Kingspan’s K-Roc™ products, further expanding the company’s footprint and enhancing its ability to service customers across North America.
Historically, K-Roc products have been manufactured exclusively at the company’s Langley, B.C., Canada site. The Mattoon facility
provides Kingspan a new strategic location to meet the increased demand for K-Roc products in facilities across the Midwest, West, Northeast, and Southeast.
“We are thrilled to officially open the doors of our new facility in Mattoon,” says Alswinn Kieboom, president of Kingspan Insulated Panels North America. “This plant is a testament to our continued growth and our passion to deliver exceptional service to our customers. The Mattoon location complements our manufacturing footprint, giving us full coverage across Canada and the U.S. with the entire product line.”
In addition to meeting the growing demand, the Mattoon site is also a key part of Kingspan’s sustainability strategy through its global Planet Passionate initiative and will undergo a significant number of eco-friendly upgrades. Plans call for solar roof panels, energy-efficient LED lighting, electric vehicle charging stations, a rainwater harvesting system, and a recycling program designed to help the company reach its zero waste to landfill goal.
The new Mattoon location is expected to bring approximately 50 new jobs to the region.
