Kingspan Insulation will Expand Operations in Frederick County, Virginia
Global Advanced Insulation and Building Solutions Manufacturer will invest $27 Million
Kingspan Insulation will expand its production capacity in Frederick County by adding a new manufacturing facility for high-demand, ultra-high energy efficient OPTIM-R® vacuum insulated panels. The project will create 37 new jobs. In keeping with Kingspan’s Planet Passionate initiative, a 10-year global sustainability program that aims to significantly reduce its environmental footprint, the Frederick County expansion will incorporate a number of sustainability aspects, including: replacement of all removed trees; the use of translucent wall panels to incorporate natural lighting and allow for reduced energy usage; the use of PV Roofing for the maximum use of renewable energy toward the goal of net zero carbon emissions for all Winchester product facilities; and the use of recycled rainwater through a robust rainwater harvesting program.
