CertainTeed Roofing, a subsidiary of Saint-Gobain Corporation, will be expanding their service and production capabilities in Texas, and the plant will be equipped with the latest sustainable solutions, which will aid in decreasing their carbon footprint. This plant – one of over 15 across North America – is anticipated to be operational over the next several years.
“This facility is a great opportunity for our long-time customer, CertainTeed Roofing, to further utilize Union Pacific’s network for their customers,” said Kim Hess, assistant vice president – Energy.
By leveraging rail, greenhouse gas emissions are reduced up to 75% versus truck. Additionally, this new facility will allow CertainTeed to shorten the distance their product travels to market.
