CGC breaks ground on Alberta manufacturing plant

CGC Inc., the Canadian division of USG Corporation, has begun the construction of its new manufacturing plant in Wheatland County, AB. CGC's $210 million investment to build this facility will deliver the company's industry-leading Sheetrock brand wallboard to residential and commercial customers across western Canada faster, more sustainably, and more reliably than ever.

The 220,000 square foot facility, situated on 214 acres of land north-west of Carseland, AB, will create more than 200 jobs during the construction phase and more than 100 permanent, full-time manufacturing jobs once plant construction is completed. Designed to be the most eco-friendly plant CGC has ever constructed, the plant will feature state-of-the-art innovations that enable efficient wallboard production with minimal water usage, energy consumption, and physical waste. CGC is also building a solar field onsite to generate clean electricity for the plant.
