Austrian manufacturer of industrial rubber and plastic products Semperit Group is opening a new manufacturing facility for rubber gaskets in the US this autumn. It says it will also move its current North America headquarters and distribution warehouse from Stone Mountain, Georgia to a new 150,000 sq ft facility in the Coweta Industrial Park in Newnan, also in Georgia.
With an investment totalling US$9 million, the facility, scheduled to open November 1, 2021, will include administrative space, production lines for building façade seals, window gaskets, road and bridge expansion joints among other sealing components, as well as increased warehousing and distribution capabilities for the entire sealant and conveyor belting portfolio. It will also be fully powered by renewable energy sources.
According to Semperit, this investment in expanded manufacturing, warehousing and distribution capabilities signals the company’s long-term growth plans in supplying original equipment manufacturers, transportation, manufacturing, mining, raw materials and construction customers across North and South America.
