CertainTeed is leading the industry in light, sustainable, and resilient construction solutions—ensuring Georgia homeowners benefit from durable and “future-ready” protection against severe weather.
“Today’s ribbon cutting ceremony in Peachtree City shows the continued growth of our business in Georgia, where we have invested over $500 million since 2018 and employ over 600 colleagues. And, it is a symbol of our commitment to serving our customers as they work to meet the region’s housing demand,” said Mark Rayfield, President and Chief Executive Officer of Saint-Gobain North America and CertainTeed. “Congratulations to the entire team in Peachtree City who have worked tirelessly to make this expansion a reality and to all our community partners for their support. Together, we will continue to provide quality, resilient roofing and building materials for the future.”
“With growth across the United States, including today’s ribbon cutting in Peachtree City, Saint-Gobain and CertainTeed are demonstrating our leadership in the roofing industry,” said DJ Damberger, President of CertainTeed Roofing. “I would like to thank our entire plant and construction team, Governor Kemp and the State of Georgia, the Peachtree City community, and Fayette County, for all of their support on this project that will serve the entire southeastern United States. We’re proud to continue growing in Georgia, working to keep today’s families—and the next generation of Georgians—safe, dry, and well-protected.”
“Georgia has set itself apart as the top state for business by working with job creators to create lasting partnerships, bringing unprecedented jobs and investment to our communities,” said Governor Brian Kemp. “This expansion is further proof that our approach is delivering results for hardworking Georgians statewide. Congratulations to CertainTeed and Peachtree City on this milestone that will only further strengthen our partnership!”
The project was generously supported with more than $5 million in state and local tax incentives realized over the next decade.
