RoofersCoffeeShop.com Welcomes Johns Manville

Second Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) Production Line Announced

RoofersCoffeeShop.com, the place where the industry meets for technology, information and everyday business, is pleased to welcome Johns Manville to RoofersCoffeeShop.com 2016.  Johns Manville (JM), a global building and specialty products manufacturer and a Berkshire Hathaway company, continues to be the preferred choice of the industry’s top commercial roofing contractors, consultants and building owners.  With the industry’s most complete offering of commercial roofing products including TPO, Johns Manville is focused on delivering a true integration of roofing components into robust, dependable systems.

Johns Manville recently announced their plans for a second thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) production line at its Scottsboro manufacturing facility.  JM said the expansion will bring its total investment in commercial roofing over the past eight years to about $200 million, creating more than 175 jobs in that span. The facility will primarily serve the North American region.

“TPO is the lowest installed cost product, not only from a materials standpoint but from a labor savings standpoint,” said Jennifer Ford-Smith, JM's director of marketing and single ply. “As our contractor base struggles in finding and retaining good qualified labor, they continue to look for product solutions that are easier to apply. TPO fits that bill and we think that is a key driving force to the ongoing popularity of TPO.”

RoofersCoffeeShop.com is proud to share the innovations, programs and manufacturing excellence that Johns Manville continues to bring to the industry.
