Clayco will build a new manufacturing and distribution facility in Locust Grove, Georgia, for window and door manufacturer Andersen Corp.
Design/build contractor Renewal by Andersen began construction on the plant on November 15. A Clayco spokesman could not disclose the cost of the project’s contract, but Andersen’s announcement described plans to invest more than $420 million in the facility.
Chicago-based Clayco will build the 638,000-square-foot facility, delivering the project in late 2024. The renovation will eventually open in 2025 and employ about 900 workers.
These workers will manufacture products made from Andersen’s Fibrex material, an engineered composite of wood fiber and thermoplastic polymer. Most of the wood and some of the polymer is recovered from other Andersen manufacturing processes, according to the release.
When completed, the facility will become the Bayport, Minn.-based company’s first manufacturing facility in Georgia, although the corporation has a distribution center in Douglasville and an office in Marietta.
This summer, Clayco started two more manufacturing projects. In August, the company began work on a $4 billion electric vehicle manufacturing campus in Raleigh, North Carolina, for Vietnamese motor company VinFast.
Then, in September, Clayco turned the dirt into $1.5 billion battery plant in Terre Haute, Indiana. The project, commissioned by Entek, a producer of lithium-ion battery separator materials, will consist of four 1.4 million-square-foot buildings.
