Fiberglass pioneer and building materials major Owens Corning re-dedicated its Springfield, Tennessee, fiberglass manufacturing facility on 8 December 2003 with a ribbon cutting ceremony held at 2 p.m. The facility was severely damaged by a tornado that hit the area on 5 May 2003. “We are very proud of our employees who have worked so hard to make this re-opening a reality, said Owens Corning CEO Dave Brown. “And we are thankful to our customers and the community for their continued support of Owens Corning and our people throughout.” The plant manufactures acoustic and thermal insulation products for customers such as GM/Saturn and Electrolux. Owens Corning was able to continue serving its customers throughout this period by establishing a temporary facility in Portland, Tennessee. “We are really happy to be up and running at capacity,” said Michele Mazza, Springfield Plant Leader. “Now that we are fully operational, our goal is to continue to grow this business by finding even more ways to provide a customer experience second to none.”
