Roofing and waterproofing specialist, IKO, recently celebrated the grand opening of its first-ever 300,000 ft2<\/sup> Clay Hill manufacturing campus in Clay County, Florida.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The company invested a major $240 million for three production lines at the site dedicated to asphalt shingles, insulation boards and residential underlayment rolled roofing. The asphalt shingle production facility is the first phase of the development, with the other two lines planned for future phases.<\/p>\n

As part of the grand opening celebrations, attendees \u2013 including IKO leadership \u2013 got the opportunity to participate in guided plant tours showcasing the facility\u2019s manufacturing operations, technology and production capabilities.<\/p>\n

The site is expected to employ over 100 people locally, serving the Southeast and Atlantic coast region. This facility represents IKO\u2019s eighth modern shingle production line across North America.<\/p>\n
