USG Boral, a global leader in building products technology, announced plans to build a new plasterboard plant in South India. The new plant will be operated by its India business unit, USG Boral Building Products India Pte Ltd.
The plant will support USG BoralÂ’s commitment in the region as the company looks for ways to better serve its customers in India. This location will allow for 30 million m2 of plasterboard capacity in a standalone facility located in South India. The new facility will add to USG BoralÂ’s India presence, where it currently operates two other facilities, a 9 million m2 plasterboard & metal plant in Khushkhera, near New Delhi, and a joint compound & putty plant, in the Chennai area.
Plans are underway to break ground in the September quarter of 2017. The plant is expected to be fully operational in 24 months.
The South India plant is an investment by USG Boral, the joint venture of USG Corporation and Boral Ltd. The company is a leading manufacturer and supplier of gypsum board-based wall and ceiling lining systems, mineral fiber acoustical ceiling systems, metal framing, joint compounds, high-performance panels and accessories throughout Asia, Australasia and the Middle East.
