The Greater Plant City Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting for James Hardie Building Products May 19 at 809 S. Woodrow Wilson St., Plant City.
James Hardie Building Products recently completed the first phase of a more than $90 million expansion of their state-of-the-art manufacturing facility located in Plant City. James Hardie is a world-leading manufacturer of fiber-cement siding and building materials with facilities around the globe and annual sales approaching $2 billion. James Hardie is the largest producer of siding in the United States. The expansion prepares the company for future growth by enlarging the existing plant’s capacity and product offerings. This expansion will give the Plant City facility the largest manufacturing capacity of any fiber cement plant in the world. James Hardie selected Plant City for expansion because of the availability of a workforce and a clear pro-business environment in the city.
