Made in Medina

Owens Corning™ Roofing began production of fiberglass reinforced asphalt shingles in 1977. For almost 40 years, Owens Corning has been producing high-quality 3-tab and architectural shingles for shipment throughout the Midwest, East Coast and even into Canada. Owens Corning™ Oakridge^® Shingles and Duration^® Series shingles with patented SureNail^® Technology* are popular choices of professional roofing contractors and are two of the highest-selling shingles shipped out of the Medina Plant.

 

Situated equally distant and a mere 30-minute drive from the city of Cleveland and the city of Akron, Medina, Ohio, is the County Seat for one of the fastest growing counties in northeastern Ohio. Founded in 1818, it enjoys a long and rich history and attracts tourists and residents alike due, in part, to its lovely Victorian architecture and picturesque Public Square.

The Owens Corning™ Roofing Medina manufacturing facility is led by Bill Shockley, a 25-year veteran of Owens Corning. Bill's philosophy to leading the manufacturing team is "a visionary leader setting high expectations for the facility that keeps everyone focused on safety and excellent quality and customer service." The plant employs almost 200 people and produces enough shingles every day to roof over 700 houses.

 

Also on site is a Trumbull™ Asphalt manufacturing facility. Asphalt is a key critical ingredient in the production of fiberglass-based shingles, and Owens Corning Trumbull™ Asphalt is the leading supplier of weathering-grade asphalt to the roofing industry. The Trumbull™ Asphalt plant employs almost 30 people.
