RCS Will Be at this Grand Opening of a State-of-the-art Manufacturing Plant

By Cass Jacoby, RCS Reporter. 

IKO opens its newest manufacturing plant in Hagerstown, Maryland.

On May 12, 2022 IKO opens the doors on its newest production and warehouse facility. This will be the company’s sixth U.S. manufacturing location, serving as an example of IKO ‘s commitment to building a strong production network. Plant tours will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

This facility is the first of its kind for IKO and will serve as our entry into the TPO market. They see the US commercial market as a significant opportunity for their company and look forward to serving contractors and building owners for commercial roofing needs in addition to our already strong presence in the US residential roofing market. The nearly 500,000-square-foot site’s strategic location makes it easier for the manufacturer to ship commercial roofing products to the East Coast instead of having to ship out of their Toronto location. Plus, the new facility will create up to 40 local jobs as it joins the business community in Hagerstown.

RCS will be in person at the grand opening, attending the official grand opening ceremony and going on a plant tour. "I am excited to attend this grand opening and will be capturing videos, photos and conducting interviews with attendees and IKO team members,” said Karen Edwards, RCS COO. “We may even be doing some live video, so be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel and sign up to receive those notifications.”

It is always wonderful to celebrate milestones for businesses in the industry like this one, we wish IKO many more years of growth and innovation.
