Deland, FL – Kingspan Insulated Panels North America is proud to announce the grand opening of its new manufacturing facility in Mattoon, Illinois. This state-of-the-art plant will focus on producing Kingspan’s K-Roc™ products, further expanding the company’s footprint and enhancing its ability to service customers across North America.

The Mattoon facility will produce the K-Roc HF Series, which is recognized for its superior fire protection due to its mineral fiber insulation core. The K-Roc HF Series, available in 4-inch, 6-inch, and 8-inch thicknesses, offers up to a two-hour fire rating in wall applications and three-hour fire rating in ceiling applications. The series is available in five profiles, with both embossed and non-embossed finishes, ensuring versatility for a wide range of aesthetic needs.

The plant will produe Kingspan’s K-Roc™ products, further expanding the company’s footprint and enhancing its ability to service customers across North America.

The K-Roc mineral fiber insulation has the fire ratings required for occupant safety and asset protection in high-value applications like EV battery factories. Historically, K-Roc products have been manufactured exclusively at Kingspan's Langley, British Columbia, Canada site. The Mattoon facility gives Kingspan a new strategic location to meet the increased demand for K-Roc products in facilities across the Midwest, West, Northeast and Southeast.

“We are thrilled to officially open the doors of our new facility in Mattoon,” said Alswinn Kieboom, president of Kingspan Insulated Panels North America. "This plant is a testament to our continued growth and our passion to deliver exceptional service to our customers. The Mattoon location complements our manufacturing footprint giving us full coverage across Canada and the U.S. with the entire product line."

In addition to meeting the growing demand, the Mattoon site is also a key part of Kingspan's sustainability strategy through its global Planet Passionate initiative and will undergo a significant number of eco-friendly upgrades. Plans call for solar roof panels, energy-efficient LED lighting, electric vehicle charging stations, a rainwater harvesting system, and a robust recycling program designed to help the company reach its zero waste to landfill goal.

The new Mattoon location is expected to bring approximately 50 new jobs to the region, creating a positive impact on the local economy and furthering Kingspan’s commitment to sustainability and innovation.
