Polyglass completes major expansion of Waco, Texas manufacturing facility

A new industry update from Polyglass!

Polyglass U.S.A., Inc., a leading manufacturer of roofing and waterproofing systems, announced the successful completion of a major expansion at its Waco, Texas manufacturing facility. With a significant investment of $31 million, the project enhances production capacity, creates new jobs and strengthens the company's presence in the region.

Major investment boosts production capacity

The expansion includes a new production line, a 100k square foot warehouse addition, and various site improvements. This strategic investment will allow Polyglass to meet growing customer demand, improve operational efficiency and contribute to the economic growth of Waco.

Teamwork drives expansion project

The project was a collaborative effort between Polyglass, Corporate Contractors, Inc., and Zenith Roofing & Waterproofing. Despite the challenges of working within a limited space while maintaining ongoing manufacturing and shipping operations, the teams worked seamlessly together to bring the project to completion.

Rick Wyatt, Plant Manager, shared his thoughts on the project, saying, “The Waco Expansion project was a very challenging and rewarding experience. Balancing new construction, installing a new production line, and maintaining ongoing operations required daily coordination between CCI, Zenith, our Engineering Team and the Waco Operations Team. I commend each team for their flexibility and understanding throughout the project. We're extremely excited about the expansion upgrades and the bright future ahead for Polyglass.”

Durable, reflective and protective: Polyglass Roofing Systems

The new facility features a state-of-the-art roofing system, including a three-ply assembly of Elastoflex SA V base and a Polyfresko® G cap sheet. The existing rooftop was also updated with DensDeck® Roof Board, Elastoflex SA V base and a Polyflex® G cap sheet. 

These systems provide exceptional durability, reflectivity and protection for the building, and demonstrate Polyglass’ commitment to providing innovative and high-performance products in a wide range of scenarios.

As Blaine Sibby, VP of Sales and Estimating at Zenith Roofing & Waterproofing, noted: "These systems are reliable, easy to install and a standard choice for our projects."

Boosting the local economy

The Waco plant expansion has not only increased the footprint for Polyglass, but has contributed to the economic growth of the region. The project has created 10 new jobs and retained 65 existing positions, demonstrating Polyglass' commitment to supporting the local community.

As Julian Hinojosa, Texas Technical Services Representative at Polyglass USA, stated: "The Waco expansion has not only benefited Polyglass but also the entire community by bringing in more jobs and stimulating economic activity."

This expansion is a testament to Polyglass' dedication to being a strong community partner and investing in the growth and prosperity of Waco.

Polyglass would like to express its sincere gratitude to the Waco community for its support throughout the expansion project. The Waco facility expansion is a significant milestone for the company and a testament to its ongoing commitment to innovation, sustainability and community growth.
