Atlas Roofing Corporation, a leading North American manufacturer of innovative, high-quality building
products, today announced its new $200 million asphalt shingle manufacturing facility will be built in Clinton,
IA. The facility represents the next phase of a vision to empower its people to create solutions and products
with purpose, while creating additional shingle capacity in a geographic location that best serves its
customers.
“We are thrilled to announce that we will be working together with the great people of Clinton, IA, to continue
our growth in the steep slope roofing category,” said Ken Farrish, president of Atlas Roofing Corporation.
“Clinton will help us meet customer demand with this investment in capacity in the Midwest, but we are
equally excited to bring more than 100 new full-time jobs to the region.”
Atlas plans to leverage a growing team of industry leaders to design and build a facility that focuses on
safety, quality, and innovation.
“Safety and quality are the core of our mission at Atlas,” said Brad Parten, vice president of operations, “as
it ensures that the needs of both our employees and our customers are central to our planning and decision making processes.”
Design and construction of Atlas’ new shingle manufacturing facility will bring together the skills and talents
of Atlas employees from throughout the organization, along with the talented people of Clinton, to make
this one of the most efficient and productive shingle manufacturing plants in the industry.
“Atlas is committed to bolstering our capacity to support our customer base across the country and this
investment in Clinton meets that commitment head on,” said Stanley Bastek, vice president of sales and
marketing for the Atlas Shingles and Underlayment Division. “This new manufacturing facility will result in
service level improvements that increase access to Atlas shingles and system components across the
country.”
“We welcome Atlas and are excited to have their company establish a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in the Lincolnway Industrial Rail & Air Park. The City of Clinton continues to be a magnet for innovative and competitive companies like Atlas. It is terrific to watch firsthand a new company make Clinton, Iowa, their home,” said Clinton Mayor Scott Maddasion.
“The arrival of Atlas proves that Clinton, Iowa, has the workforce and pro-business environment to attract
a company of high caliber,” said Matt Brooke, city administrator. “The Lincolnway Industrial Rail & Air Park
is now a plug-and-play site, with a brand new road, expanded public rail, and the complete build-out of all
utilities. It was great working with Grow Clinton, the City of Low Moor, Iowa DOT, Iowa Economic
Development Authority, and several land owners to see this project come to fruition.”
