IKO, the roofing and waterproofing specialist, has broken ground on its new extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulation manufacturing facility in Brantford, Ontario.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new 67,000 square-foot facility represents more than $45 million in investment and further expands IKO\u2019s manufacturing capabilities across North America.<\/p>\n

While IKO<\/a> currently operates polyISO insulation manufacturing facilities in Ontario, Alberta and Maryland, the company says the Brantford facility will become the its first XPS insulation manufacturing plant.<\/p>\n

Once operational, the facility is expected to employ approximately 40 people in the Brantford area and will support customers across Canada and the northeastern United States.<\/p>\n

New XPS Insulation Manufacturing Facility<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cAs a company founded in Canada, it is especially meaningful for us to continue investing in Canadian manufacturing and communities,\u201d said\u00a0Yekutiel Koschitzky<\/strong>,\u00a0XPS General Manager and Product Innovation Manager at IKO North America. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis new facility reflects IKO\u2019s long-term vision for growth, innovation and operational strength across North America. Brantford is an ideal location for this investment due to its strong manufacturing workforce, strategic access to key transportation routes and proximity to important customer markets. We are proud to contribute to the region\u2019s economic development while creating high-quality manufacturing jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n

North American Expansion<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Brantford groundbreaking builds on recent investments across North America, including the recent grand opening of a fiberglass manufacturing facility and glass mat plant in Chester County, South Carolina<\/a>, as well as the opening of a new plant in Clay Hill, Florida<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The company says the Brantford XPS facility is expected to support growing demand for insulation products and further position IKO as a building products manufacturer serving both residential and commercial markets.<\/p>\n

Construction is currently underway, with additional project updates expected to be shared as development progresses.<\/p>\n
