Saint-Gobain subsidiary CertainTeed Roofing has completed a more than $100 million expansion at its manufacturing plant in Peachtree City, Georgia, doubling the facility's production capacity. The project is expected to increase the supply of roofing shingles across the fast-growing Southeast, where housing demand continues to rise.
Why it matters
The expansion reflects Georgia's business-friendly climate and the continued growth of the state's manufacturing sector. It also highlights the increasing demand for building materials as the U.S. faces a projected shortage of 4 million homes by 2030, including over 365,000 in Georgia.
The details
The Peachtree City plant, which opened in 1976, is one of 10 Saint-Gobain facilities in Georgia. The company manufactures roofing, siding, insulation, and other building materials in the state. The expansion project, first announced in 2022, received more than $5 million in tax incentives from state and local officials over the next decade.
