New Malarkey Roofing Products Plant in Indiana Reinforces Commitment to Providing Innovative and Sustainable Roofing Solutions for Customers

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (August 13, 2024) — Holcim Building Envelope is expanding its residential roofing segment with the construction of a new Malarkey Roofing Products® plant in Franklin, Indiana. The 300,000-square-foot manufacturing facility and warehouse, situated on a 135-acre campus, marks the latest milestone in Holcim Building Envelope's commitment to expanding operations, improving customer service, and accelerating green growth in commercial and residential applications.

The facility is expected to break ground later this year and will generate approximately 200 jobs, contributing to economic growth for the local community in Indiana. The new plant will begin producing residential roofing shingles on two manufacturing lines by mid-2026, improving access and delivery time for customers in the Midwest and Northeast regions. 

"Our addition of a Malarkey facility in Indiana demonstrates Holcim Building Envelope's dedication to providing our customers with innovative and sustainable solutions for the building envelope,” said Jamie Gentoso, President of Holcim Building Envelope and Global Head of Holcim Solutions & Products. “We are committed to being a good neighbor in the communities in which we operate while bringing high-quality products and top-notch service to our customers."

This new plant and Midwest expansion, along with the recent opening of the LEED-certified Elevate™ commercial roofing manufacturing and distribution center in Salt Lake City, bolster Holcim Building Envelope’s broader growth strategy to continue offering the most comprehensive range of roofing solutions in North America. 

Headquartered in Portland, Oregon, Malarkey operates facilities in South Gate, California; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and Williamsport, Maryland. In 2022, Holcim acquired Malarkey Roofing Products which resides in the Holcim Building Envelope portfolio of brands.
