Polyglass Completes Major Expansion of Texas Manufacturing Facility

$31 million project boosts production capacities and expands company's footprint in the region

Polyglass U.S.A. Inc. announced the successful completion of a major expansion at its Waco, Texas manufacturing facility. With an investment of $31 million, the project enhances production capacity, creates new jobs, and strengthens the company's presence in the region.

Major Investment Boosts Production Capacity

The expansion includes a new production line, a 100,000-square-foot warehouse addition, and various site improvements. This investment will allow Polyglass to meet growing customer demand, improve operational efficiency, and contribute to the economic growth of Waco.

Teamwork Drives Expansion Project

The project was a collaborative effort between Polyglass, Corporate Contractors, Inc., and Zenith Roofing & Waterproofing. Despite the challenges of working within a limited space while maintaining ongoing manufacturing and shipping operations, Polyglass said in a release that the teams "worked seamlessly together to bring the project to completion."

“The Waco Expansion project was a very challenging and rewarding experience," said Rick Wyatt, plant manager. "Balancing new construction, installing a new production line, and maintaining ongoing operations required daily coordination between CCI, Zenith, our Engineering Team, and the Waco Operations Team. I commend each team for their flexibility and understanding throughout the project. We're extremely excited about the expansion upgrades and the bright future ahead for Polyglass.”

Polyglass Roofing Systems

The new facility features a state-of-the-art roofing system, including a three-ply assembly of Elastoflex SA V base and a Polyfresko G cap sheet. The existing rooftop was also updated with DensDeck Roof Board, and Elastoflex SA V base, and a Polyflex G cap sheet. The systems provide exceptional durability, reflectivity, and protection for the building, said Polyglass.

"These systems are reliable, easy to install, and a standard choice for our projects," said Blaine Sibby, vice president of sales and estimating at Zenith Roofing & Waterproofing.

Boosting the Local Economy

The Waco plant expansion has not only increased the footprint for Polyglass, but has contributed to the economic growth of the region. The project has created 10 new jobs and retained 65 existing positions, demonstrating Polyglass' commitment to supporting the local community.

"The Waco expansion has not only benefited Polyglass but also the entire community by bringing in more jobs and stimulating economic activity," said Julian Hinojosa, Texas technical services representative at Polyglass USA.
