Duro-Last® to Open Seventh Manufacturing Facility with Grand Opening on Thursday

Duro-Last opened the new facility as a way to continue serving the needs of the growing Florida roofing market. 

Duro-Last is proud to announce the grand opening of its seventh manufacturing facility in Largo, Florida. Operations at the 16,000-square-foot building will manufacture Duro-Last custom-fabricated membrane up to 60 feet in length and custom accessories for thermoplastic single-ply commercial roofing installations.

“As one of the largest single-ply roofing markets in the U.S., the needs of Florida contractors are complex,” Duro-Last CEO Tom Saeli said. “Duro-Last has spent many years strategically investing in code approvals and personnel to meet those needs effectively, and the opening of our Largo facility is the culmination of those efforts. This new location will allow us to better serve our customers in the Florida market. Not only will our expanded operations significantly improve delivery timelines and shipping costs for local certified Duro-Last contractors, it also ensures they can continue to provide the industry-leading service and products that their customers have come to trust.”

In addition to membrane and accessory manufacturing, the Largo facility is also home to Duro-Last’s paints, coatings and caulk manufacturing operations as well as an onsite training space for contractors to learn and enhance their installation techniques on Duro-Last Roofing Systems.

Hosted by Duro-Last leaders, the grand opening event on Thursday will showcase the company’s manufacturing operations and provide attendees with the opportunity to learn more about Duro-Last products and services.
