James Hardie Europe has announced the opening of its most advanced fermacell fibre gypsum manufacturing line in Orejo, Spain.
With a total investment of over €150 million, the new facility will strengthen James Hardie’s ability to supply the European market, including the rapidly growing prefabrication sector.
The Orejo plant supplies a comprehensive range of fermacell flooring elements, fermacell wall boards and prefabrication solutions.
CEO & president of James Hardie Europe, Christian Claus, says “With this new production line, we strengthen our position in three key segments: modern timber construction, innovative flooring solutions, and efficient dry lining solutions that enable more living space.
“Demand for sustainable, high performance building materials is rising across Europe and our fermacell solutions are built for exactly that. Our products are made from 100% natural materials – gypsum, paper and water and their properties are verified via an Environmental Product Declaration confirming that they store CO₂.”
