Following the upgrade the plant will double its production capacity by the end of 2021. The subsidiary of Belgium’s Etex wants to benefit from increased usage of wallboard products in the country. It was 0.45m2/capita in 2018 and the company is aiming to increase this to 1m2/capita by 2025.

National Gypsum plants win safety award

11 September 2019

US: National Gypsum’s Shippingport wallboard plant in Pennsylvania and its Anniston paper plant in Alabama have both won the Lloyd H Yeager Award for working 1 million hours or more worked without a lost time accident (LTA). The Shippingport plant reached 2 million hours without a LTA. The award is organised by the Gypsum Association (GA) and 13 plants have been recognised on this occasion. The Anniston paper plant makes face paper for National Gypsum’s wallboard products including the distinctive purple paper used in the company’s Purple product line.

“Under Lloyd H Yeager’s leadership, the GA ran a robust safety training program for the gypsum industry and was very successful in emphasising the importance of workplace safety among GA member companies,” said Stephen H Meima, executive director of the GA.
