Johns Manville (JM), a Berkshire Hathaway company with more than 150 years of experience in the roofing business, announced that an official groundbreaking ceremony has been held to construct a new single ply roofing membrane facility in Milan, Ohio.

It is JM’s third facility in Ohio and is a part of the company’s roofing systems business. The plant will commence operation in the 2Q of 2011 and will produce Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) commercial roofing products.

EPDM is a single ply membrane made from thermoset synthetic rubber. The material has excellent weathering properties and durability and can be installed easily. The Midwest and Northeast regions hold roughly 80% of the EPDM market.

Todd Raba, Chairman, President and CEO of JM, stated that the new facility will expand the company’s product portfolio and help it to offer industry’s widest range of commercial roofing products. JM has chosen a location for its new facility, which is close to its clients’ base to assure efficient delivery. The roofing systems facility will have about 100 million sq.ft of manufacturing capacity and production will begin in mid-2012.
