US: Germany-based Grenzebach has received an order from American Gypsum Company for the construction of a new wallboard production line at the its Duke, Oklahoma, plant. The new line will expand the Duke plant’s capacity by 25%, while reducing its operating costs by 20%. American Gypsum Company intends for the expansion to help it to meet ‘rising demand’ in its South US and US Sunbelt regions.
Grenzebach will deliver a ‘customised complete plant,’ equipped with natural gypsum drying facilities and two calcination plants, by mid-late 2027. The supplier noted the order as its largest for the building materials sector to date.
“This major project will be implemented across the group, with our locations in North America, Germany, India and Romania working closely together,” said John Corsi, CEO of Grenzebach North America. “A key factor in securing this project was the strong sales cooperation between our Grenzebach Corporation and Millennium Control Systems teams in the US and our centre of competence for Building Materials at Grenzebach BSH in Germany. This international collaboration underscores our expertise and capability as a strong, global operating partner.”
