Johns Manville confirms pipe insulation expansion in Ohio

Johns Manville is planning a significant investment to expand manufacturing capacity at its Defiance, Ohio facility in the USA. The expansion will allow the company to increase its production of glassfibre pipe insulation products.

The capacity expansion project starts early this year and completion of the first production line is scheduled for 2020. “Thanks to the support of our customers, we have seen continued growth in this business since we rebuilt the Defiance pipe insulation plant in 2007” commented Bob Wamboldt, President of JM’s Insulation Systems business. “The growth is a result of market demand and more importantly, demonstrates a distinct preference for JM’s pipe insulation, Micro-Lok HP and HP Ultra.”
