en.Wedoany.com Reported - USG, a US building materials manufacturer, announced that its Canadian subsidiary, CGC Inc., has opened a new gypsum board manufacturing plant in Wheat County, Alberta, with an investment of nearly $150 million.

The new 214-acre plant will produce Sheetrock brand gypsum board, a key building material for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects in North America.

Chris Macey, President and CEO of USG, stated that the new plant strengthens the company's manufacturing network, adds critical capacity for the Western market, and enhances its ability to deliver the quality, reliability, and performance customers expect.

The Wheat County plant supports CGC's sustainability goals by adopting industry-leading operational efficiencies, including a 20% reduction in carbon emissions, a 25% reduction in water usage, zero landfill waste in the manufacturing process, and on-site solar power generation, all of which help reduce the facility's environmental footprint. The plant also reduces transportation distances and related emissions by being closer to customers in Western Canada, while improving supply reliability.

The plant is also part of USG's plan to invest approximately $233 million to strengthen supply, expand manufacturing capacity, and improve service across its North American network. USG is headquartered in Chicago.
