Grodan Group expands production space

The Grodan Group, part of the Rockwool Group and supplier of innovative and sustainable stone wool substrate, is expanding its production space with the opening of a new production line in North America, located at the Roxul Inc. factory in Milton, Canada. The new, state-of-the-art production line will allow Grodan to respond faster to specific customer needs in the North American horticulture market and minimize delivery lead time. By producing products in North America, the Grodan Group will be able to reduce distance when transporting products to customers, minimizing yearly freight between Europe and North America, and leading to a decrease in CO2 emissions. This specific line will produce slabs for the professional horticulture industry.

Nine jobs have been created since the installment of the production line, and another 18 jobs are expected to open during the course of this year. Production on the new line will start in July.
