Knauf Chooses McGregor for Distribution Facility, Future Expansion

Knauf Insulation Inc. will establish its new fiberglass insulation manufacturing and distribution facility in McGregor, TX (greater Waco). Knauf Insulation is a subsidiary of Knauf Group AG, a multinational producer of building materials and construction systems.

“As part of a global family-owned business, we believe the timing is right, and McGregor is exactly the type of community where we desire to expand and partner for the future,” said Matt Parrish, Knauf Insulation president and CEO.

The project will create 151 new jobs and more than $210 million in capital investment. A Texas Enterprise Fund grant of $819,175 has been extended to Knauf.

“I am proud to welcome Knauf Insulation and the new opportunities they will create for hardworking Central Texans to McGregor,” said Gov. Greg Abbott. “Knauf Insulation’s new manufacturing and distribution facility will bring more jobs, investment and economic prosperity to our state. Made in Texas is a powerful global brand, and I look forward to continuing this partnership with Knauf Insulation as we keep the Lone Star State the best place to do business.”

Knauf is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of insulation products and solutions. Expanding this company’s North American presence is a top priority, said Alexander Knauf, Knauf Group AG general partner.

“Selecting the city of McGregor and the state of Texas as our next expansion location will position Knauf Insulation to continue to meet the expanding needs of the building industry for the long term while supporting the economic expansion to this vibrant community,” he said.
