Johns Manville (JM), a global building and specialty products manufacturer and a Berkshire Hathaway company, has announced plans to build a new Climate Pro blowing wool production line in Winder, GA.
“This new production line in Winder will help JM meet our customers’ growing demand for blowing wool,” said Bob Wamboldt, President and CEO of Johns Manville.
Construction is set to begin early next year, with operations expected to start by mid-2027. Upon completion, JM will employ over 350 people in Winder.
Greg Clarke, President of JM’s Insulation Systems business, emphasized the strategic location, noting that increased capacity in the Southeast will enhance service to East Coast and Central U.S. markets.
Climate Pro blown-in fiberglass insulation provides consistent coverage, filling hard-to-reach spaces for better energy efficiency and comfort in homes. It is widely used in attics and net-and-blow systems, offering quick and efficient installation by professionals.
