Glass fibre plant expansion completed in Ohio
Phase one of the Johns Manville glass fibre pipe plant expansion in Defiance, Ohio is now complete.
The US expansion added the first of two production lines, improving JM’s ability to meet demand for Micro-Lok HP and Micro-Lok HP Ultra glass fibre pipe insulation, which is used primarily in commercial buildings. “The JM team has done an outstanding job growing the business to the point where a capacity expansion was necessary” said Jim Swift, Director of Operations in JM’s Insulation Systems business and leader of the expansion project. “The dedication of the entire team made this project possible, with the common goal of supplying our customer with quality pipe insulation and the service they are accustomed to.”
