Owens Corning, a global building and industrial materials leader, plans to restart production at its insulation manufacturing facility in Eloy, Arizona. The project is expected to create 50 jobs.

According to the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA), the 42,500 square-foot facility at Eloy Industrial Park is expected to be fully operational in the first quarter of 2022.

“This project is an excellent rural economic development win for the City of Eloy and Arizona,” said Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority. “We are grateful to Owens Corning for choosing to reopen the Eloy site for their advanced manufacturing, which will provide quality jobs for local residents, and we look forward to supporting Owens Corning in their future success in the state.”

Owens Corning manufactures insulation, roofing and fiberglass composite materials. The company provides innovative products and sustainable solutions that address energy efficiency, product safety, renewable energy, durable infrastructure, and labor productivity. The Eloy facility will produce fiberglass insulation for building applications. The facility in Eloy expands Owens Corning’s capacity to service the West Coast.

“I’m thrilled by this announcement, which will provide great jobs for our residents just as the City of Eloy and Pinal County are experiencing a significant increase in new home starts and an influx of new investment,” said Eloy Mayor Micah Powell. “Owens Corning has been a part of the Eloy industrial landscape for many years and this announcement comes at a time when our economic development efforts are starting to yield results.”
