Owens Corning, Saint-Gobain Plant Glass Plant

摘要

Owens Coming and Compagnie de Saint- Gobain have formed a 50-50 joint venture to build a state-of-the-art glass reinforcement fiber manufacturing plant. The companies expect to evenly split the output of the plant after it comes on stream in late 2004. The companies have not released where they will build the facility or exactly what products it will manufacture. The companies note that the facility will supply an industry growing 4 percent to 5 percent per year as composites continue to replace wood, aluminum, and steel.
