Officials for Chelsea Building Products report that the company has set a date for the grand opening of a new facility in Greenville, Texas. Scheduled for April 9, 2019, the event will include a reception, plant tours and a ceremonial ribbon cutting.

Opened in 1975, to date the company has operated solely out of Pittsburgh, Pa. As its product portfolio and customer base have expanded, however, officials say investments have been made into equipment and infrastructure to keep up with the demand—including the addition of its newest facility.

“We knew at some point in time, the demand for our products would necessitate a second production facility,” states Peter Dewil, president and CEO of Chelsea Building Products. “We expect to continue to make significant investments over the next three years in capacity expansion between the Pennsylvania and Texas plants. With the addition of the Greenville facility, this will significantly increase the overall capacity of Chelsea Building Products.”

Officials say the new facility’s location was strategically chosen to service Chelsea’s current and future customers in the Southern and Western U.S. The 126,000-sq.-ft. space previously served as an extrusion operation and has the capability for future expansion, equipped with a total of 15 extrusion lines.
