New Distribution Center Officially Enters Phase Two

By Johns Manville.  

Johns Manville’s polyiso production plant has received a railcar of materials, entering a new phase of production. 

Johns Manville’s distribution center is already sending out shipments of JM products across the country, and with business booming, the company celebrates the growing success of their new polyiso plant in Hillsboro, Texas, with the plant’s first railcar! The plant is now equipped with both railcar and tanker truck offloading facilities, making it even more efficient. 

The plant started to receive raw materials in December in preparation for commissioning 
activities, which began in January. The commissioning team, comprising JM technical resources, plant personnel and the equipment supplier, is on site to inspect and commission the manufacturing line and has begun performing test runs of the polyiso boards to validate the process.    

The plant is still hiring, so if you or someone you know is looking for a great opportunity at our new Hillsboro plant, check out the openings. Currently, new employees are participating in training activities such as visiting other JM ISO Board manufacturing plants to gain hands-on experience in advance of commercialization.
